Dr. Cheryl F. Green has been appointed assistant vice president for student affairs at Tennessee State University.

Green’s appointment comes on the heels of TSU on Tuesday naming Dr. Glenda Glover as university president.

A Chicago native with more than 20 years of experience in higher education and student affairs, Green will oversee the TSU Health Center, Counseling Center and Floyd-Payne Campus Center.

“Dr. Green brings a wealth of academic affairs and student support service experience,” Dr. Adrian Samuels, vice president for student affairs, said in a release. “I am excited to have her join us.”

Previously, Green worked in various capacities at Chicago State University. She was the dean of CSU’s first-year/freshman experience program and chair of the CSU Department of Counseling. She specializes in grievance mediation and conflict resolution, and holds a certificate in crisis intervention.

Green holds both a Ph.D. and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Southern Illinois University and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Manchester (Ind.) College.
