Background

About Nancy Yang

I help students embrace their potential and pursue a path toward their own finish line—and lead collaborative efforts with educators and staff to transform how we support student success. Throughout my career, I’ve designed programs, coordinated services, and removed barriers for a wide range of student populations: high schoolers, first-years, sophomores, transfers, STEM majors, aspiring police officers, undocumented students, and students at Hispanic- and Minority-Serving Institutions. I also partner with faculty and staff to improve teaching, communication, and student-centered practices. My work is rooted in a simple goal: make higher education more supportive, more connected, and more human. Core strengths include-Creating student-centered programs that are both thoughtful and practical -Designing trainings that stick—with real skills and real impact—for students, staff, and faculty -Communicating clearly, with warmth and intention, so people feel seen and take action -Bringing people together around shared goals and making the work feel doable (and even fun)-Simplifying complex processes to help teams focus on what matters most -Leading with care, curiosity, and a drive to get things done—better and faster Outside of work, I’m a dancer, singer, competitive gamer, and foodie—always learning, always leveling up.
