Dr. Aaron J. Hart, Vice President for Student Affairs
Aaron Hart joined the UHCL leadership team in July 2019 from University of North Carolina
at Charlotte, where he served as the associate vice chancellor for Student Affairs
for two years. While in that role, he assisted in the strategic planning process for
the Division of Student Affairs by implementing the vice chancellor's vision and goals
and working closely with senior campus officials.
Among Hart's major accomplishments was the coordination of a $57 million construction plan for a new residence hall. He also directed and supervised the strategic development and overall administration of the Office of Housing and Residence Life, Off-Campus Student Relations, and the UNC Charlotte Niner Choice Program, a safety initiative for off-campus living.
Prior to UNC Charlotte, Hart served at Indiana University-Purdue University-Indianapolis, first as the director of Housing and Residence Life and then as the associate dean of students. While there, he participated on the Indiana University Housing Task Force, which conducted a system-wide review to optimize the business practices of housing operations across all Indiana University campuses.
His broad, effective experience with critical components in the field and his genuine investment in the growth and development of all students are exactly what UHCL needs for our ongoing efforts to better prepare students for success in an increasingly complex world.
