Corey Ross is a Chief of Staff at Spring Arbor University. Colleagues describe them as "I was his colleague for Corey's first three years at LeTourneau University. I was serving as a counselor and adjunct instructor, and he was a Resident Director, Director of Student Activities, and Director of Student Publications. We interacted regularly as members of the Student Affairs coordinators who planned and led co-curricular life at the university. The same qualities that have contributed to Corey's rapid rise through successive levels of responsibility to his current position as Dean of Students were evident from the beginning of his service at LeTourneau. He is warm, intelligent, creative, articulate, and exceptionally well-organized--as a catalog of his diverse responsibilities and exceptional achievements will attest. Corey excels in accomplishing tasks while affirming and encouraging people. He is a developmental educator and administrator--capable of drawing together the multiple strands of life in a residential university to enable all the elements to work together for the good of the community members--faculty, staff, alumni and surrounding community, and above all, the students. He is a rare administrator who brings encouragement and joy as he leads and directs mission accomplishment. He is secure enough to free others to do their best work, and firmly to correct ineffective or unacceptable behavior. Corey has been a leader, an encourager, and a servant in each of the many roles he has undertaken. I recommend him highly and without reservation for any position to which these qualifications could be applied." and "Corey consistently showed his cair for his students and his devotion to them. I personally witnessed his open arms in counseling hurting students as well as rejoicing with students in their success. He not only has the heart for service and leadership, but also was very able in his tasks."
