Following a reorganization of the Office of Student Programs and Leadership Development, Student Affairs welcomes Lilia Chavez to the position of director.

Chavez has held several positions at SFSU including campus director of the Pass the Torch Program, director of SFSU's administration of the Cesar Chavez Grant Program, and coordinator of the Pre-Collegiate Academic Development Program.

Chavez holds a BS in organizational behavior from the University of San Francisco, an MS in rehabilitation counseling from SFSU and is currently working on a doctorate in international and multicultural education at the University of San Francisco.
