Dennis Hicks

Patti's husband, Christopher and Victoria's dad, Reagan and Lincoln's grandpa: Dennis Hicks has been many things in addition to being a registrar for over 30 years. He has also been a friend and mentor to many. A graduate of the University of New Orleans, Dennis was hired in 1990 to serve as UNO's Associate Registrar, learning under the tutelage of his mentor, Mark Strickland. From there, it was off to prairie Cajun country, where he served from 1994 to 1998 as the Director of Admissions and Registrar of Louisiana State University at Eunice. After four years, it was time for this mid-western boy to "go home," so they loaded up the truck and moved to Richmond, Indiana where Dennis served out the remainder of his career as the registrar of Indiana University East from 1998 to his retirement in February. Dennis recently remarked that he is honored to have served in this noble profession for over 30 years. He credits his successes to the mentorship of many AACRAO friends and colleagues. Dennis has made an indelible impact on the profession and we thank him for his consistent support to both the profession and to the many students he served.
