In July 2021, Slandie Dieujuste (Dah-Juice), PhD, joined Springfield College as vice president for Student Affairs, and was subsequently promoted to vice president for Campus Life and Inclusion. In her role, Dieujuste provides strategic and over-arching leadership for the co-curricular learning experience as well as for campus-wide functions, such as Public Safety, Title IX, non-discrimination initiatives, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Dieujuste oversees a number of strategic partnerships, such as YMCA Relations, Project SEARCH, and the Candaras Davison Center for Inclusion. She is also one of the College’s community engagement liaisons, serving on several collaboratives within the city of Springfield.

Over her more than 20-year career in higher education, Dieujuste has held leadership roles at large, midsize, small private, and public institutions. She has extensive experience in creating and implementing new programs that strengthen campus life and promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging. She is especially known for her keen ability to create engaging and inclusive communities that elevate the student voice and advance their success.

Dieujuste has served as an adjunct professor at both the undergraduate and graduate level and on numerous doctoral dissertation committees. She is an active member of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), serving on its board for small colleges and universities, and as the co-chair for its VPSA Institute. She currently serves on the advisory board for a research project funded by the Barr Foundation on how creativity, arts, and culture factor into the lives of immigrant communities in Massachusetts.

Her research interests lie in Title IX compliance, DEI, student retention, and college student development.
