Amanda Means has been appointed as the associate vice president of enrollment management, and Cody Call has been named director of financial aid.
In naming the two individuals, Jerry Ross, chief enrollment officer and vice president of enrollment management at Marshall, said Means and Call are outstanding leaders.
“Their many talents will help to strengthen Marshall University and position us for the future,” Ross said. “Both of these individuals stand ready to champion our efforts.”
Means previously led various divisions at Miami University, including admission, enrollment operations, financial aid, strategic enrollment and retention initiatives and Veteran Services. She began her higher education journey at Marshall University, where she worked in housing and residence life and served as a recruitment coordinator.
“I’m thrilled to return to Marshall University where I started my professional career,” Means said. “As a first-generation college student from southern Ohio, my undergraduate experience at Marshall University opened the world up to me, introduced me to mentors and set me on this amazing path that has led me back to this new position. I look forward to joining what is already a strong team, continuing the work to grow and innovate and once again helping students join the Marshall family!”
Means has a bachelor’s degree from Marshall University, a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration with a concentration in Enrollment Management from Bay Path University, and a certificate in Enrollment Management from Ruffalo Noel Levitz.
Cody Call, the newly appointed director of Financial Aid, brings a deep understanding of Marshall University, having served in various roles within the university’s financial aid office for the past eight years. Call’s expertise in navigating the ever-changing landscape of financial aid regulations, including the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, has prepared him well for his new role. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management/Marketing and a master’s degree in business administration, both from Marshall University.
“Serving students is at the heart of financial aid, and I am dedicated to continually expanding my knowledge and skills to better support their success and meet financial needs effectively,” Call said. “Whatever the challenges, I am committed to learning and improving to ensure our office provides the best possible service throughout their educational journey.”
Call assumed his position in August and Means will be on board Oct. 7.
