Please Note:

The Student Fee Advisory Committee (SFAC) is charged with recommending funding allocations for student services fees. These fees support units, programs, and services across the University. SFAC is composed of eight voting members: six students and two staff members.

The Student Fee Allocation Hearing will begin on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 9:00 AM in the Memorial Student Center Senate Chamber. This hearing provides an opportunity for departments to present their budget projections and demonstrate how their programs benefit from student fee funding.

 Dear Panthers,

Welcome to Prairie View A&M University!

Whether you are arriving on The Hill for the very first time or returning to continue your journey, I am excited that you are here. Prairie View is a special place, rich in history, excellence, tradition, and possibility. You are now part of that legacy, and I hope you will take full advantage of everything this community has to offer.

I am also beginning a new journey at Prairie View, and in many ways, I am joining this community alongside you. As your Vice President for Student Affairs, one of the things I am most excited about is getting to know our students: who you are, what matters to you, what you need from us, and what you hope your Prairie View experience will become.

I come to PVAMU after more than 20 years working with students at colleges and universities across the country, including LSU, Jackson State University, Union College, Spelman College, and Stanford University. Through all of those experiences, one thing has remained constant: I believe deeply in students and in the power of community.

College is about so much more than earning a degree. Your education happens in the classroom, but it also happens through the people you meet, the organizations you join, the conversations that challenge you, the traditions you experience, the leadership opportunities you embrace, and even the moments when things do not go exactly as planned.

That is where Student Affairs comes in.

Our role is to help create an environment where you can learn, lead, connect, belong, and thrive. We want you to find your people. Get involved. Attend the program. Join the organization. Go to the game. Meet someone new. Ask for help when you need it. Take advantage of the resources available to you. And, most importantly, contribute something of yourself to this community.

You did not arrive at Prairie View as an empty vessel waiting for us to fill you with knowledge. You came here with experiences, ideas, talents, identities, dreams, and perspectives that make our university better. We want to build upon that greatness while also challenging you to discover what else is possible.

As a Division, we are committed to meeting students where they are while helping them get where they want to go. Sometimes that means helping you navigate a difficult moment. Other times it means creating opportunities for you to lead, celebrate, connect, serve, or simply have fun. Through our programs, services, organizations, events, and campus traditions, we want your experience outside of the classroom to complement and strengthen everything you are learning inside of it.

I also want you to know that your voice matters. I believe the best campus communities are built with students, not simply for students. I look forward to hearing from you about what is working, what could be better, and what you would like to see at Prairie View. Creating an exceptional student experience is something we will do together.

So, as you navigate this year, I encourage you to be present. Be curious. Build relationships. Try something new. Take care of yourself and one another. Ask questions. Seek support. And find ways to leave Prairie View even better than you found it.

The Division of Student Affairs is here for you, and I look forward to seeing you across campus, at Panther Stadium, in the MSC, at programs and events, and everywhere in between.

There is incredible history on The Hill, but there is also incredible possibility. Now, you get to be part of what comes next.

Welcome home, Panthers.
