Bobby Woodard, Auburn associate provost and vice president for the Division Student Affairs, named Johnny Green the new assistant vice president of outreach for Student Affairs.
Woodard said he believes Green will become a valuable asset to the Student Affairs staff.
“We are looking forward in having someone with Dr. Green’s experience, knowledge and background on our Student Affairs staff,” Woodard said. “Johnny will be a continued asset to Auburn University and to our students, faculty and staff.”
Green said his tasks deal heavily with building relationships with organizations outside of Auburn.
“Everything I am tasked with is intended to provide better communication and build stronger relationships with organizations that have interactions with Auburn students,” Green said.
According to Green, his work requires him to be a liaison with several different organizations.
“Some of the duties of the new position include continued oversight of the Veterans Resource Center, Off Campus Housing, mentoring programs and community relations,” Green said. “I am also to liaison with a number of off-campus groups, including county, city, state and civic organizations.”
Green said he will be working frequently with Woodard to meet students’ needs.
“I will also be responsible for assisting with, facilitating and leading contract negotiations regarding programming and services as the division’s representative, in addition to working closely with Dr. Woodard to provide the leadership, vision and develop new programs based on students’ needs,” Green said.
Green said being in a transitional phase gives him several responsibilities to deal with for the time being.
“I am in the middle of the transition phase, and one of the biggest challenges is having to wear two hats or be responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Veterans Center while establishing another office on campus,” Green said.
Green said he is thrilled to have this new position and to be able to work with students as well.
“I am looking forward to engaging our students,” Green said. “I thoroughly enjoyed being available for Auburn men and women when I served as dean of students and to have that opportunity again cannot be expressed adequately in words. I am so happy.”
