Hesston College President Joseph Manickam has announced the hiring of Grant Myers to serve as Vice President of Enrollment Management, a new role at the college. Myers was previously Dean of Enrollment Management at Tabor College (Hillsboro, Kan.).

The role of Vice President of Enrollment Management was created as part of the college’s strategic plan, Vision 2025, to increase outreach and meet the challenges ahead. This role is designed to oversee several vital departments involved directly with increasing enrollment. These include admissions, financial aid and marketing and communications.

Myers brings a wealth of experience from his time in higher education as a coach and an institutional leader. He also brings knowledge from the fields of sales and marketing.

“The vision he brings to Hesston College and the future is set to increase enrollment and uplift the values the college holds dear,” said Hesston College President Dr. Joseph Manickam. “After an extensive nationwide search conducted with the help of both the Hesston College campus and an outside firm, Hesston was able to secure the talents of Myers for the job.”

Manickam shared about Myers in a recent announcement to the campus community. “Grant’s excitement was contained in what he observed in us as a community and the strength we collectively have to forge a strong path forward together.”

Myers’ official start date will be January 3, 2023, but will likely pay a few visits to his new home campus over the next couple of months.
