Jill Meyer, Ph.D., a native of Colby, has been promoted to associate vice
president of academic success and institutional effectiveness at the Milwaukee
School of Engineering.
Meyer joined the MSOE staff in 2017 as assistant vice president of institutional
effectiveness.
“This promotion is a recognition of Jill’s outstanding contributions to MSOE
over the past three years, including her ability to lead important initiatives
regarding student success and to help us build a culture of data-informed
decision making,” said Dr. Eric Baumgartner, vice president of academics.
In her new role, Meyer will manage units that impact academic success at MSOE:
Institutional Effectiveness, CREATE Institute, Servant-Leadership, Registrar’s
Office and Library. She also will provide oversight for the Raider Center for
Academic Success in collaboration with Student Affairs.
Over the last year alone, Meyer has had an influential impact across campus by
serving on numerous committees. She chaired the strategic plan’s Key Performance
Indicators (KPI) Committee and finalized the KPI Dashboard, established and
co-chaired the General Education Task Force, and became a member of the
Enrollment Steering Committee. Meyer also developed, administered and analyzed
campus-wide surveys to better understand student success and efforts towards
MSOE’s Strategic Plan. She was invaluable as MSOE transitioned to online
learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meyer is a key member of the academic leadership team at MSOE and also serves as
the university’s accreditation liaison officer to the Higher Learning
Commission. She is an active member in multiple organizations, including the
American Association of University Women (AAUW), Wisconsin Association of
Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU) Strong Start to Finish (SSTF) Task
Force, Higher Education Regional Alliance (HERA), and Women in Science and
Engineering (WiSE).
Meyer also was an invited participant for the Project Lead the Way (PLTW) KEEN
Framework Alignment Study.
Meyer earned her undergraduate degree in mathematics and physics with a minor in
computer science at St. Norbert College and went on to earn her M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in mechanical engineering, with an emphasis on Orthopedic Biomechanics,
from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Prior to joining MSOE, Meyer was executive director of institutional
effectiveness at Mount Mary University and an assistant professor in the College
of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee,
where she helped to establish the biomedical engineering program.
Jill (Schmidt) Meyer is the daughter of James and Donna Schmidt of Colby, and is
a graduate of Colby High School.
