Student Services

As the Administrative Director of Student Affairs I oversee the employees and office environment for the Department of Health Sciences Office of Student Services. The Office of Student Services supports the members of the student body throughout their Health careers. All student-related issues funnel through this office, and most activities that involve students, including Orientation, Semester Welcome-Back Events, and Graduation are organized here. The Office of Student Services manages student data, supports clinical education, assists with course evaluations, and offers financial aid counseling. In addition to my supervisory duties, I help conduct student services for the Neurodiagnostics and Sleep Science and other new programs when needed including admissions, registration, enrollment verification, and graduation.

I am the Clinical Education administrator in the Office of Student Services, Department of Health Sciences. I handle compliance, immunizations and clinical rotation onboarding process for the health sciences students.

I am the Administrative Assistant for several programs in the office of Student Services in Health Sciences. I work with undergraduate and graduate students in Radiologic Science, Occupational Therapy & Occupational Science, and Speech & Hearing Sciences to guide them through the admissions, registration, and graduation processes during their time at UNC.

Krislyn is an administrative support specialist for the Department of Health Sciences Physician Assistant Program. She assists students with admissions, enrollment, registration, and graduation during their time at UNC. Additionally, she serves as support staff for the PA program directors and faculty.

My work consists of managing clinical contracts and affiliation agreements the Department of Health Sciences and numerous facilities nationwide have established. I primarily focus on agreements for the following programs: Audiology, Clinical Lab Sciences, Clinical Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling, Neurodiagnostic and Sleep Sciences, Radiology, Sonography, as well as Speech and Hearing Sciences. I work alongside OPSCA and OUC to process renewals and new requests for agreements and act as a liaison between the department and the divisions during the execution process. I also assist in collecting and managing data for student services and managing locker assignments for incoming students.

As a student service specialist within the Department of Health Science at UNC, I play a pivotal role in supporting both undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science, Master of Clinical Laboratory Science, Human Movement Science, and Doctor of Physical Therapy programs. My responsibilities include guiding students through the complexities of admissions, ensuring a smooth registration process, and facilitating their graduation pathways.

As a Student Service Specialist in the Department of Health Sciences, I oversee the full scope of student admissions, registration, records management, and student aid for multiple programs, including Audiology, MS Speech-Language Pathology, Minor in Speech and Hearing Sciences, and Certificate program in Radiologic Science. I serve as one of the Work Study Managers for the student services suite and assist in administering general policies and procedures related to student services across the department. In my role as Course Evaluation Manager, I use the Carolina Course Evaluation System (“Blue by Explorance”), which requires coding skills to design, configure, and manage course evaluation questions. This work provides valuable insights into the student experience, helping faculty enhance both teaching and learning.

In addition, I coordinate event planning for the Division of Speech and Hearing Sciences, managing in-person and virtual events such as information sessions, interviews, orientations, and graduations via Zoom and Webex. I also collect and analyze enrollment, admissions, and graduation data to support program improvement and research within the Health Sciences. Through these responsibilities, I ensure seamless operations, a positive student experience, and data-informed decision-making that strengthens our academic programs.

My primary areas of interest include supporting children and families with hearing loss and developmental disabilities and healthcare access. I serve as a LEND (Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Related Disabilities) faculty member and provide clinical services at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities on two multidisciplinary teams; the School Age Team and the Hearing and Development Clinic.

Since joining the faculty at UNC in 2018 I’ve lead an interprofessional health professions service learning trip to eastern North Carolina working with community partners to address health disparities and rural healthcare access. Additionally, I serve of the UNC Office of Interprofessional Education and Practice(IPEP) Advisory Board.

My profession service includes work with CAPCSD, AAA and the NC-EDHI Advisory Committee.
