At JCCC, Kyle will oversee financial aid, testing services, enrollment management, student development and career services.
“My philosophy is that students come first,” Kyle said. “Students Services is here to help students accomplish their educational goals and aspirations. For me, it’s rewarding and energizing when I see students complete their goals – whether that’s a certificate or associate’s degree or transfer to a four-year institution.”
Kyle has a bachelor of arts degree in behavioral science and religion/philosophy from Sterling College and a master of education degree in counseling/school psychology from Wichita State University. He is a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Kansas.
