Angie Reams has been appointed the University of Iowa’s associate vice president and dean of students.

She has served in the interim role since January 2019.

“I’m grateful that Angie has served in the interim role and feel she’s prepared to fill it permanently,” says Vice President for Student Life Melissa Shivers. “She’s continued to do an outstanding job providing guidance when students struggle as well as helping them celebrate successes. She’s also deeply committed to helping create and sustain positive and inclusive communities through advocacy, education, and engagement.”

The appointment will enable the Division of Student Life to make a seamless transition when it comes to one of the most integral positions relating to the student experience. 

“It’s critical to have someone with Angie’s experience and proven strong leadership skills lead the Office of the Dean of Students as we move forward,” says Shivers.  

Reams will begin serving in her new role on Nov. 1, pending approval by the Board of Regents, State of Iowa.
