Jonathan Eichten was recently named to the position and has, for the past few weeks, been acclimating both to Southeast and to Winona, he said.

Eichten, who had been the vice president of student affairs at St. Cloud Technical and Community College, is taking over many of the responsibilities held by the retiring Nate Emerson, Southeast's vice president of student affairs.

"I'm still in the exploratory and discovery phase," Eichten said Monday of his new position. "You have to learn how the college operates, learn about the students and get a deeper understanding of student needs."

Eichten's primary goals, he said, include tailoring Southeast's programming to match student interests, preparing students to leave school and enter the workforce, and bringing state-of-the-art equipment and technology to the school.
