Along with leadership skills, the Vice President must posses an excellent ability in interpersonal communications.  This aids in motivation of a large staff.  It is also important for the incumbent’s participation in campus-wide and departmental committees.  It is important for the incumbent to be able to articulate concerns from the department of Student and Enrollment Services.
