Culver-Stockton appoints directors of Greek life andresidential life

CANTON, MO

Culver-Stockton College staff to develop and implement opportunities for

students. Wilson will serve as director of residential life and

intramural athletics, and Hickenbottom will serve as director of Greek

life and student activities. Both men joined the college July 1.

"Our goal at Culver-Stockton is to create a living/learning community

through the students’ residential experience whether they are living

in one of our residence halls or in a fraternity or sorority," said

Paul Rittof, dean of Student Life. "Unlike many colleges and

universities, we are fortunate to have a majority of students living in

our residential facilities for all four years of their college

experience. This expands our opportunities to work closely with the

students, to help build their academic success, and to help develop them

as leaders through our student activities. We also have some students

who commute to campus for class, and we are working to increase

opportunities for them to become more involved in the college."

Before joining Culver-Stockton, Wilson was an area coordinator for two

years in the Office of Residence Life at Luther College, Decorah, Iowa.

He also served as a vocation mentor and an assistant soccer coach at

Luther College. Wilson earned both his bachelor’s of science degree

and his master’s degree at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse,

where he also worked in the Office of Student Life, the Student Health

Center, and as a special projects coordinator in Student Activities and

Centers.

Hickenbottom comes to Culver-Stockton after serving as director of

child and adolescent services, Hancock County Mental Health Center,

Carthage, Ill. He also worked as an intern at Methodist Medical Center,

Peoria, in the child and adolescent psychiatric unit and as lead mentor

for Project Next Generation, Macomb. He also has been a teacher in the

Hickory Hills Early Learning Center and Chaddock School. Hickenbottom

is a graduate of Culver-Stockton College and earned his master’s

degree at Western Illinois University.
