A Message From Jesse Grant-Diamond Honoree

Now, forty years later, Dr. Grant shines as he fully lives out his passion for service, education, and access in student affairs and higher education. As the Dean of Students at Bemidji State University, Jesse focuses on those things that keep him going. “I do all I can to make sure college students make progress toward the degree and toward their life goals.” With professional experiences at several universities spanning institutional types, his work has contributed to areas including crisis management, multicultural affairs, student conduct, greek life, housing, academic success, student engagement, enrollment management, new student programs, peer mentoring, and dining services – to name a few! As a fervent educator, Dr. Grant regularly engages the Association, presenting at regional and national conventions and serving on commissions. Jesse is a mentor and role model for both students and professional colleagues. Congratulations to Dr. Jesse Grant for this esteemed honor!
