Alyse Bithavas
Associate Dean, Student Academic Life
Before coming to CGS in 1997, I worked as a therapist in various settings including local college counseling centers. As part of my doctoral program, I interned at the Suffolk University Counseling Center, where I developed a strong interest in academic advising.
As the Associate Dean for Student Academic Life, I oversee academic, developmental, and professional advising; student records operations and workflow; student disciplinary action; academic standards; academic and student service program planning development; marketing, enrollment, and retention.
My goal is to connect with students and support them in making the best possible academic, career, and personal choices. My research interests include student retention and assessment of student success strategies.
