Humans of Heidelberg: Dean Chris Abrams

Dean of Student Affairs Dr. Chris Abrams and his signature bowtie.

Dr. Chris Abrams, who became the dean of Student Affairs at the beginning of the school year, has two valuable pieces of advice for students: 1) Don’t give up! There are countless capable young people who have allowed themselves to get sidetracked and not walk across the graduation stage. Don’t be one of them! and 2) Get the most out of your experience. So many students get locked into one thing whether that be an academic program, an athletic team, a greek organization, etc. … My advice is to take a step outside your comfort zone, try something new. College offers so many opportunities you may never have again. My greatest regret from my undergraduate experience is missing out on studying abroad.

Get to know Chris in this week's Humans of Heidelberg.
