Colorado Christian University announced the appointment of Neal Anderson as the vice president of student life and traditional enrollment for the College of Undergraduate Studies, effective August 1. Anderson has been serving in an interim role since April.
“I am confident that Dr. Anderson’s leadership will significantly benefit our students, enrollment futures, and desired operational outcomes,” said Eric Hogue, CCU president. “He brings a wealth of campus culture, enrollment experience, and a respected and proven track record of success in Christ-centered higher education, leadership, management, student affairs, and enrollment management. Dr. Anderson’s commitment to fostering a mission-fit and dynamic student life environment aligns perfectly with CCU’s distinct mission, values, and strategic priorities.”
Anderson holds a Ph.D. in organizational leadership and entrepreneurial leadership from Regent University, a master’s degree from Wheaton College and a bachelor’s degree from Moody Bible Institute. Before joining CCU in 2018, he spent nine years in student life and operations at Moody.
In his new role, Anderson will continue working closely with Sharon Felker, dean of students and A.V.P. of student programs. Felker has been a key part of the student and family experience at CCU, and her role will continue in partnership with Anderson.
“Sharon and I have a great shared vision for the student experience in the College of Undergraduate Studies and I am excited to deepen our collaboration as we move forward,” said Dr. Anderson. “She has been an invaluable resource and partner.”
As a vice president, Dr. Anderson will serve on President Hogue’s cabinet and leadership team.
