Dr. Daniel Easton started his career as resident director at Western Washington University, where he learned that community development and student support were found not in just giving students experiences but in helping students make meaning of their experiences, their identities, and their connections to others. He then moved to the University of Colorado Boulder, where he was a Conduct Coordinator, Assistant Director, Associate Director, and Interim Director in Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution, where he developed and implemented a more educational and restorative approach to accountability. He was also an associate registrar at the University of Colorado Denver, prioritizing developing processes and procedures that fit around the student’s experience, not fitting the student’s experience around processes and procedures. Daniel has been Program Director for Academic Coaching and Success Initiatives since Fall 2021 at CU Boulder, where he oversees the Academic Coaching program in the College of Arts and Sciences as well as, more broadly any academic success programs with the advising and coaching unit. Daniel holds a B.A. in philosophy and religious studies from the University of Denver, an M.S. in higher education administration from the University of Kansas, and an Ed.D in leadership for educational equity from the University of Colorado Denver. Outside of work, he enjoys running, reading horror novels, or playing Dungeons and Dragons. His two dogs, Ahsoka and Adama, wish he would take them on more walks.
