University of Maine

ORONO – Kenda Scheele, director of campus recreation at the University of Maine since 2001, has been named associate dean of students at UMaine. She was selected for the job after a national search.

“Kenda brings a wonderful set of complementary skills and experiences to this new position,” said Robert Dana, UMaine’s dean of students. “She has done a great job moving our recreation programs forward over the past three years, and I know that she will excel in this new position. While our search attracted many fine applicants, we were gratified to find the ideal candidate right here in our own community.”

As associate dean, Scheele will lead and supervise several program areas related to campus life.

“I’m very excited to start this new position, it’s a great opportunity,” Scheele said. “I have always enjoyed working with university students. Their enthusiasm and vitality are infectious. I hope I can do great things with the students here at UMaine.”

Before her arrival at UMaine, Scheele spent 19 years working at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. She started there as assistant coordinator of intramural sports and held several positions of increasing responsibility, advancing through the ranks to become senior associate director of campus recreation before leaving for UMaine. Scheele earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan, a master’s from Colorado State University and a doctorate from Nebraska. Earlier this year, she completed a law degree at the University of Nebraska Law School.

Scheele fills a position vacated in March 2003 by Calli Sanders, who is now senior woman administrator and associate athletics director at Iowa State University.
