| Meet Dean Melinda Bunnell-Rhyne
 As an undergrad at Drew University, Melinda Bunnell-Rhyne was active on campus as a resident assistant and as a founding member of the Residence Hall Association. When she realized she could put those activities and leadership skills she had gained as an undergrad toward a rewarding career, she decided to pursue student-centered employment.
As the dean of student life and retention, Bunnell-Rhyne is helping students every day.
"What I enjoy most is watching the development and transformation of individual students," Bunnell-Rhyne said. "On graduation day, I am amazed to see young people who have changed so much since the day they started at Capitol and become something they might not have been without the Capitol Experience."
