Now the Associate Dean of Students for Housing & Residence Life at @Ringling College of Art and Design much has changed in his life since last year!

Winner of the regional Jim Scott Award in 2006, a prestigious higher education award, Ken has a track record of purposeful solutions to painful problems. Addressing the needs of students not just at his college of employment but also setting standards nationwide for what student life looks like on and off campus. Graduating from @Michigan State University in 1980, and 1982 with his masters, and eventually his Ph.D from the @University of South Florida in 2016 in Higher Education, Dr. Posner, allegedly, bleeds Green and White. But no, seriously, he went to college and never left. Dedicating his life to helping others no matter where he may end up. Oh yeah, he is a pretty awesome dad as well. With so much experience dealing with students of all ages, maybe he was better prepared than most for not 1, but 2 boys, identical twins, 10 years into his career. Here is a snippet of what Ringling had to say for his announcement: I am extremely pleased to announce that Dr. Ken Posner has joined the Student Life Department as Associate Dean of Students for Housing and Residence Life. Dr. Posner brings to us a multitude of experiences and years of successful leadership in higher education. He has served in senior student life leadership positions at Rollins College, Hollins College and most recently, at Saint Leo University where he served as Assistant/Associate Vice President for Student Affairs since 2008. He has vast experience in Housing and Residence Life Administration, Mail Room Operations, Campus Dining Services, Student Conduct Administration, Greek Life, Health and Wellness Services, Safety and Security, Emergency/Crisis Management, Orientation and First Year Experience Programs, Leadership Programs, Student Activities and Engagement, Parent and Family relations, Title IX, Veteran's Services, and much more. At SLU, Dr. Posner was also responsible for numerous renovation and construction projects, including a new residence hall complex that encompassed a 1200 gallon aquarium featured on Animal Planet's "Tanked" TV series.
