Helping students
get through difficult
situations was one of
the most rewarding
aspects of Dr. Brent
Paterson’s job as di
rector of student life.
Since he has recent
ly been appointed
dean of student life,
he will have the opportunity to help
even more students.
“My student contacts will be in
creasing as dean of student life. I really
want students to see this as a place to
come when they have concerns and is
sues. Often a student has an issue hut
they might not know where to go with
that issue — this office is somewhere
you can go and someone can help you
through the issue,” Paterson said.
Dr. J. Malon Southerland, vice pres
ident of student affairs, said one of Pa
terson's jobs will he overseeing orienta
tion programs, which will provide
face-to-face interaction with students.
“The majority of our peer institu
tions in the Big 12 and Vision 20/20
programs, have a dean of student life
in addition to a person at the VP lev
el,” Southerland said.
“It’s important for students to recog
nize that his [Paterson’s] office is a place
they can go for assistance. I le’s an out
standing individual. We're very pleased
with the work he’s done at A&M. I'm
very pleased that I had the opportunity
to offer this promotion to him."
As dean of student life, Paterson will
oversee a variety of programs:
• Adult and graduate student serv ices.
• Alcohol and drug education
programs.
• Critical incident response.
• Greek life.
• Gender issues education.
• Student judicial serv ices.
• Student legal services.
• Critical incident response.
• Services for students with dis
abilities.
• Mediation services student life
orientation.
• Off-campus housing services.
• Sexual violence education and
support.
• Women’s development resources.
Paterson’s goal is to be an advocate
for students, as well as a liaison between
administration and students.
I le will represent the Division of
Student Affairs on the University's
Academic Operations Committee,
and serv e as a contact for If.
A&M students and parents on at
cacy issues. Paterson has server;
the graduate faculty at Texas At '
since 1987. and currently sent
an adjunct professor of educate
administration.
Paterson said that the only if:;
ence between his position as dirt:
of student life and dean of student
is that he will have more contact*
v arious departments of the Univert:
than he has in the past.
“I’ve been here for 13 yea;j
Through my work here I've been,
sociated with him on the Division
Student Affairs Staff. Dr. Paters:
going to do a wonderfuljob.lt
the utmost respect for him. Brs
bright and shining star in our?
sion.” said Dr. Kevin Jackson,
tor of student activities.

help him, and right now some of us arc go
ing to wash our cars and write ‘Forrest
Lane’ on them.”
Moser, who served as junior yell leader
this year, said he was grateful to the student
body for their vote of confidence.
“I’m thankful that the students thought
I did a good enough job last year to elect
me again. I’m so proud to represent Aggies
and the 12th man on and off the field,”
Moser said.
