Andrea Nevels, who served as Vice President for Student Development and Dean of Students at North Park from 2003 to 2013, has returned to campus to help shepherd Student Engagement into its next chapter.
“Although retirement is great, God had a plan for me to utilize the talents He blessed me with for such a time as this,” says Nevels, who most recently was Chief of Staff at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in Student Affairs.
With extensive experience in student affairs, organizational development, strategic development, problem solving and operational prioritization, Vice President Nevels will oversee the search processes for the positions of Director of Student Success and Director of Diversity and Intercultural Life.
She is also determined to bring a sense of trust to the Student Engagement team and encourage them to focus on the future. A lifelong Chicagoan, Vice President Nevels describes herself as a woman of deep Christian faith.
