Dean College Announces New Vice President for Student Success &
Campus Life and New Vice President for Enrollment Services
Dean College is pleased to
announce Adam Keyes as the
new Vice President for Student
Success & Campus Life and Paul
Vaccaro as the new Vice President
for Enrollment Services.
Reporting to President Kenneth
Elmore, Keyes will be responsible
for student success
programs, campus life and community
engagement to support
student learning and growth. He
joins Dean from Clark University,
where he most recently served as
director of strategic initiatives.
At Clark, Keyes progressed from
the director of residential life &
housing to senior associate dean
of students and deputy Title IX
coordinator. When the COVID-
19 pandemic hit, Keyes also
took on the role of director of
COVID testing and operations,
establishing and running Clark’s
testing center and operations.
He held residential life positions
at Endicott College, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology and
Boston University before arriving
at Clark in 2014. He holds a
bachelor’s degree from Fitchburg
State College and a master’s degree
from the University of New
Haven.
With more than 15 years of
experience in student life, enrollment,
operations and project
management, Keyes looks forward
to developing meaningful,
equitable experiences for
students and the institutional
processes and policies needed to
sustain them.
“Fundamentally, I want the
area of student services and
campus life to impactfully shape
students’ lives by being a parallel
educational experience to
the curricular offerings,” said
Keyes. “Students come here to
learn; academically, socially and
emotionally. If properly implemented,
that learning is equally
important and memorable.”

the best version of themselves
during the undergraduate educational

“My experience in leading

holistic approach to enrollment

that genuinely cares about its students
and seeks to put their needs

“I am very much looking
forward to joining President
Elmore’s leadership team and
helping to move the College forward
in a thriving baccalaureate
mindset,” he added. “Above all,
we remain about providing educational
access and opportunity
while instilling a confidence and
belief in our students that I feel

type of mission is both exciting
and inspiring.”
