She’s been compared to a big sister, a cool aunt and a mom but just hopes to never be known as the grandma.

Dean of Students Cassy Bailey can be one of a student’s most significant resources for all college life matters.

“I think the most important thing for a student to know about me is that I’m approachable,” Bailey said. “A student can use me as a starting point no matter what it is, and I’m going to help the student through whatever office or wherever they need to be sent next.”

While Bailey could be called a Baker expert and has an orange suitcase full of Baker related props to prove it, she can be just as useful in dealing with non-Baker matters.

“That’s just a really good perk of my job to be able to sit with students, and sometimes it has nothing to do with Baker, it’s just kind of life and life challenges,” Bailey said. “If only my walls could talk some days about the different conversations I have with students.”
