Union Institute & University Names Dr. Gregory Stewart Vice President of Enrollment Management
Stewart has led record-setting enrollment initiatives; shares UI&U’s commitment to social justice and the benefits of higher education
CINCINNATI – Union Institute & University (UI&U) today announced the appointment of Dr. Gregory Stewart as UI&U’s vice president for enrollment management. In this role, Stewart will work with the university community to accomplish the goal of strategic enrollment growth through learner recruitment and retention.
“Union has an excellent reputation as a national university serving adult learners. I am excited about working at UI&U because I believe the work of strategic enrollment management – the recruitment, retention and graduation of learners – is one of the best careers in the world,” said Stewart. “I share Union’s commitment to social justice and the benefits of higher education.”
Stewart has 25 years of increasing administrative responsibilities in a broad spectrum of higher education institutions serving traditional age and adult learners and brings a wealth of experience in leading recruitment and retention programs. He served as interim associate vice president for enrollment management at the University of Cincinnati, and associate vice president for enrollment management at Northern Kentucky University (NKU), where he led the university in record setting enrollment growth. In addition, he served as director of admissions at the University of Akron and director of admissions at NKU. His most recent position was as vice president, enrollment management and student affairs, at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio.
“We are excited about the expertise and potential that Dr. Stewart brings to our enrollment efforts,” said U&IU President Dr. Roger H. Sublett. “Enrollment is a prime focus for all of us at Union, both at our headquarters here in Cincinnati, as well as in our outlying academic centers in Miami, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Vermont. Greg’s publication record is impressive, as is his participation in state, regional and national professional conferences relating to enrollment management and learner services. We look forward to some exciting years of enrollment growth and increased service to our learners in Cincinnati and around the country.”
Stewart has also served as a faculty member, teaching social work, human services, and higher education administration at the University of Akron and NKU and participated as a member of the U.S.–Cambodia Joint Conference on Social Work delegation in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in 2007. He has published articles on diversity and higher education issues in scholarly journals and professional publications and has authored and managed a dozen research and service grants.
A volunteer for the United Way of Greater Cincinnati, Stewart is a member of the Board of Directors for the Inner City Tennis Foundation, The Center for Chemical Addictions Treatment, Wesley Education Center for Children and Families, and the English Language Learning Foundation. In 2006, he was recognized with the 2006 Nuestra Familia Award from the Ohio Commission on Hispanic/Latino Affairs in recognition of outstanding service for the Hispanic Community in the State of Ohio. He was also the recipient of the 2002 Bridge Builder Award for the Cincinnati/Hamilton County Community Action Agency.
Stewart earned a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Cincinnati and continued his education at Miami University, where he completed a master’s degree in counseling. He has a Ph.D. in educational leadership from Ohio University and is a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) and National Certified Counselor (NCC).

Union Institute & University Announces Newest Staff Additions
November’s hires include a former outreach program coordinator, an aspiring therapist, and Northern Kentucky’s top ranking table tennis player
Elizabeth Schmidt has been hired as administrative assistant to the offices of assessment and distant learning for Union Institute and University. Elizabeth has bachelor’s degrees in public relations and political science from Eastern Kentucky University, where she worked with resident’s life and the diversity office. Before coming to work for Union, Elizabeth worked for the YWCA Hamilton’s domestic violence shelter doing marketing and running outreach programs including an adult anger management program. Elizabeth grew up in Colerain Township, and lived in Lexington, Ky. for several years after college before returning to Cincinnati.
Elizabeth’s first pair of shoes were just like Forest Gump’s, and she recommends all first time roller skaters purchase a pair, “They work great for instant stability,” she says.
In their spare time, Elizabeth and her partner breed red worms to feed the 10 aquatic turtles they have rescued from hapless pet owners.
Elizabeth brings with her a personal philosophy directly in line with Union’s Mission, Vision, and Values. At each cross roads and at the end of each hurtle she asks, “What did I learn, and how has this affected the world around me?”
Nicole Hamilton, Union’s new writer/public relations manager, has experience on both sides of the PR world. She worked as a news aide and freelance writer for the Cincinnati Enquirer, before accepting a position as public relations and events coordinator for Northern Kentucky University’s Department of Music. Nicole (known as “Nikki”) has also worked as a media coordinator for political campaigns and, most recently, was a reporter for the Downtowner. A University of Cincinnati graduate, Nikki will manage Union’s public relations from Union’s Cincinnati headquarters offices as part of the communications team and will work closely with the alumni and development offices, as well as the deans and admissions staffs at each center.
Nikki is a certified yoga instructor and has been teaching people to stand on their heads for more than seven years, and has been a mediocre cello player for more than twenty years.
Janet Ross, Union’s new business office secretary, graduated from Toccoa Falls College with a bachelor’s degree in counseling. She worked for River Cities Capital Fund before beginning her career with Union in June of 1995, first working in the graduate college and then with the registrar’s office. After five years with Union, Janet moved on to work as administrative assistant for Greater Cincinnati Consortium of Colleges and Universities for six years, housed in the Union building.
Janet is back working for Union after serving as a case manager for Welcome House in Covington, KY. She hopes to earn her doctorate in psychology from Union.
Janet enjoys going to parks, seeing movies and spending time with her two girls. In addition, she volunteers for City Cure and helps women who are struggling with domestic violence.
“Who knows what the road ahead will look like after the degree,” says Janet. “But getting a chance to follow through on my dream of becoming a therapist is a miracle come to life.”
Greg Thompson, Union’s new director of computer services, earned a bachelor’s degree in communication from Northern Kentucky University, where he worked as the Network Administrator and Lead Systems Analyst for five years. Greg also served as a network administrator for Hillenbrand in Batesville, IN and as a senior project manager for Cincinnati Bell before coming to Union.

Greg founded this non-profit organization with his father in 2003, and is currently the top ranked player in Northern Kentucky and in the top 10 in the state of Kentucky.
Greg hopes to bring to Union is a fresh perspective, using 13 years of experience in the computer industry.
“There are many things we can do at Union to make things more efficient as well as innovative,” he says.
“I am constantly utilizing new technologies which we can use to make Union a cutting edge technology school.”
