RIWHE Members in Action

January 7, 2010

Kristin Biggins named one of the top student affairs administrators in the state.

Associate director of residence life at Bryant University is recognized by Rhode Island’s chapter of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators.

When first-year students move into the residence halls each September, they are sometimes leaving the comforts of home for the first time. At Bryant, dedicated people like Kristin Biggins, associate director of residence life, help ease the transition.

For her efforts, Biggins was recently awarded the Outstanding Mid-Level Professional Award by Rhode Island’s chapter of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA). The honor is presented to a student affairs professional with a minimum of five years’ experience who is experienced in creating a campus environment that promotes student learning and personal development.
