McClure shares new goals for Campus Life and Recreation
Former Director of Student Engagement and Campus Life (SECL), Erin McClure has been promoted to the new Assistant Dean of Campus Life, following the restructuring of the recreational facilities on campus.
After it was decided the University Recreation Center, along with the bowling alley and swimming pool, would be overseen by SECL, it was decided McClure would be in charge of overseeing most aspects of student life on campus.
“Our new president wants our students’ campus life to be more vibrant and inclusive, [by] transitioning everything into one umbrella under student affairs, to create a better campus life for students,” McClure said.
One goal McClure has in this new position is to be able to provide a more organized way for students to learn about opportunities hosted on campus.
Dean of Students Kirsten Compary said McClure was chosen because of her background in campus recreation.
“[McClure] is a natural fit for absorbing that area into her oversight,” Compary said.
Director of Campus Recreation Marcus Wirth also discussed how restructuring the University Recreation Center into Student Engagement was to deliver a positive college experience for students.
“I think the main goal of moving Recreational Sport under SECL was the mission and values of both departments are aligned very closely and both departments are committed to working toward the same goal of engaging the Texas A&M- Kingsville students,” Wirth said.
McClure said she is ready for the transition of new responsibilities as part of her role to form a more vibrant and engaging campus life for students. For more information and to stay updated on campus events follow @tamuksecl on Instagram.
