In his new role, Mr. Kleschick will provide administrative oversight for the Berkeley College Office of Academic Advisement, Center for Academic Success, and Library Services. Working collaboratively with the deans, department chairs, faculty, and all student-serving offices, he will drive initiatives that assess and develop student services and success, including developing and managing early intervention systems for at-risk students, advancing integrated advisement systems, improving student retention and graduation rates, and enhancing career development opportunities.
Mr. Kleschick’s principle interests are in business and organizational development needs, as well as mentoring and employee engagement. He has authored articles in the areas of communications and mentoring published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACROA) and he has held committee and executive positions with various professional organizations at the local, regional, and national levels. He holds a BS in Biology from Cabrini University in Radnor, PA; an MEd in Higher Education Administration from Temple University; an MBA from Philadelphia University; and is completing an EdD in Organizational Change and Leadership at the University of Southern California.
“I look forward to working with Paul, who I believe will be a tremendous asset to the College, because his interests and expertise closely align with Berkeley College’s commitment to being a student-centric, practitioner-oriented teaching institution that provides students with a high-quality education that is accessible, affordable, robust, and relevant,” said Marsha A.
