Dr Jill Landesberg-Boyle Demonstrated Success

Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle's career includes a long record of demonstrated success in increasingly responsible higher education positions. Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle began early on as an undergraduate resident assistant, which led to a position as a residence life professional. She then moved to Los Angeles upon graduating from my doctoral studies and eventually moved from a director to a dean position. Ultimately, Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle advanced into a vice presidency and, now, a presidency. Throughout the years, She have instructed numerous classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. These classes include Organizational Behavior and Leadership for MBA students, freshmen seminars, leadership courses, honors classes, and numerous multicultural classes within the graduate and undergraduate programs within the School of Education at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Early in Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle's' career, she was approached to design and serve as founding advisor for an honors residential program. That program, the University of Massachusetts Residential Honors program, has grown and flourished. This experience convinced Dr. Landesberg-Boyle that colleges can and should offer transcendent opportunities leading to tangible student learning outcomes. In step with that vision, Dr. Landesberg-Boyle designed and fostered service-learning and student leadership programs to help students become vested in their educational experience and improve completion rates. While vice president for student affairs at the Pennsylvania College of Technology, Dr. Jill Landesberg-Boyle worked on a model retention program featured in National On-Campus Report. That work attracted site visits from other institutions, such as Kent State University, seeking to replicate the program.
