Johanna Mills Metzgar
Vice Provost, Academic Council, Vice Provost for Student Affairs
BioJohanna joined Stanford as Associate Vice Provost for Student and Academic Services and University Registrar in May 2018.
In her role, Johanna leads the Registrar's Office and seven other departments, including the Bechtel International Center, Graduate Admissions, Mind Over Money Financial Wellness, Student Financial Services, Student Information Systems, the Student Services Center, and User Experience & Design Strategy.
Under Johanna’s leadership, Student and Academic Services (SAS) has implemented a multi-year IT strategy that involves reimagining the experience for Stanford students and scholars by modernizing technology systems, making connections between them more seamless, and enabling students to easily navigate — and get the most out of — their academic journey at Stanford.
In addition to enhancing student services and the student experience, SAS is investing in these three areas to advance our vision:
- Strengthen engagement and connection among staff who support student services across the university community
- Renew and extend the system infrastructure supporting students, scholars, and faculty
- Build an enterprise academic, advising, planning, and enrollment platform as the first step toward replacing the enterprise student information system
