Meet the Dean of Students
Hello! My name is Voula Erfourth and I serve as the Dean of Students for Baker College. Baker has been my second home for 21 years and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with students every day and help them reach their goals. Specifically, and most importantly, I am here for you, the students.
As the Dean of Students, I connect students and family members, faculty, administration, staff, and community members, and advocate for inclusive efforts on and off campus while promoting student growth and development. Please reach out to me any time, or stop and say hello when you see me on campus. We know there are certain things you may need as a student before you can concentrate on your academic work. This includes food, shelter, transportation, technology, digital access, high-speed internet, and more. We are pleased to share with you our Personal Care Resources Guide, which can connect you to critical resources both on and off campus. Our campus directors of student affairs have worked diligently with various community organizations to help ensure that anytime you might feel like you don’t know where to turn, think of us and we’ll help ease some of that burden from you by connecting you with folks who are ready to help!
And for our new students, all of this and more will be discussed in your NewBEES class, your first year experience program, which has been designed to support your journey and transition to Baker College. Check Canvas for the information you’ll need! Go BC Bees!

Student Conduct
Baker College’s Code of Conduct is educational in nature while providing structure for the institution. Through our interactions with students, we strive to support the educational mission, core values, and the institutional student learning outcomes of the College. Our conduct process provides students with opportunities for dialogue and reflection while requiring a continual commitment to the Basic Principles of Student Responsibility and other policies identified in the Student Handbook. These documents outline the ideals to which all students should aspire as members of the Baker College community.
