“Jaime’s career has been dedicated to meeting the needs of students,” says WSU vice president for student affairs Mary Jo Gonzales. “Her proven success in collaborating and partnering with faculty and staff as they developed equitable and inclusive educational environments was unparalleled.”
Nolan will oversee the campuses’ Gender Identity/Expression Sexual Orientation and Resource Center, Women’s Resource Center, Multicultural Student Services, Access Center, Elson S. Floyd Cultural Center, as well as the Office of Equity and Diversity. She will also lead and coordinate WSU system-wide culture and climate efforts.
Nolan earned her undergraduate and master’s degrees in American studies at WSU. Her experience also includes serving as chief diversity officer at South Dakota State University and director of the Office for Diversity, Equity and Community. At the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, she served as director for multicultural affairs, held the role of associate dean for diversity and director of the Office of Undergraduate Studies at Colgate University and served as special assistant to the vice president for multicultural affairs at the University of Minnesota. She was named to the WSU post following a nationwide search and will begin her new role June 1.
