“I chose WashU in part because the student affairs staff is incredibly talented and creative,” Gonzalez said. “Together, we are committed to delivering an even better student experience, one that supports student health and well-being, advances the university’s academic mission, creates a culture of compassion and respect and provides opportunities for growth and fun.”
