Parisi Appointed Vice President for Enrollment Management

Lindenwood University President James D. Evans has announced the appointment of Dr. Joe Parisi as the institution’s first Vice President for Enrollment Management.

Parisi, a 15-year employee at Lindenwood, has spent the last 10 years overseeing the university’s successful day admissions office.

“In an era when Lindenwood has become one of the larger independent universities in the Midwest region, it became clear that we would need to install a strong, experienced leader to oversee, integrate, and coordinate our diverse admissions programs and officers,” said Evans. “Dr. Joe Parisi has the necessary background and drive to take our recruitment of quality students to the next level and beyond, and I personally have the utmost confidence in him in this larger role.”
