New Faculty/Staff Spotlight 2024: Meet Manuel Santelices, MS Dean of Students

Meet Manuel Santelices! Fond memories of making pan con lechon (Cuban pork sandwiches) with friends during his school’s annual Tombola event still bring a smile to Manuel’s face, reflecting his deep-rooted connection to school traditions. A man of many talents, Manuel even taught salsa dancing during high school to "pay the bills." He carries with him a sense of humor and a worldly perspective, as shown by his favorite quote from Mark Twain: "God created war so that Americans would learn geography." All hands on deck, Manuel.
