Our mission is to recruit, develop, and empower students to be active leaders who are engaged, healthy, and culturally competent; to advocate for inclusivity and respect; and to inspire students to realize their educational goals and personal potential.
The vision of our departments is to create a transformative college experience from recruitment to graduation that fosters holistic growth, civic engagement, and courageous leadership in a dynamic global society.
Susan Davies, Ph.D., serves as Executive Vice President for Enrollment and Student Affairs at Augusta University.
Her love and advocacy for student success began in college as an orientation leader, which led to pursuing avenues to serve professionally in higher education. Now, as EVP, she brings more than 25 years of experience, providing overall leadership and management of the Division’s 19 departments. Her vision and decision-making are rooted in the belief that students are our #1 priority.
A leader and ally among students and her peers, Dr. Davies was the project leader - both in the creation and launch - of Augusta University’s 2022-2027 Strategic Enrollment Management Plan.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Georgia Southern University, a master’s degree in college student development from Bowling Green State University, and a doctorate in educational studies from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
In addition, she is a member of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, the Southern Association for College Student Affairs, and the American Association of Collegiate Registrar and Admissions Officers. She served as a faculty member for the SACSA and NASPA Region III’s Mid-Managers Institute in 2019 and 2022. She served as the 2022-2023 chair of the USG Regents Administrative Committee on Enrollment Management.
