Mary-Beth Cooper joined RIT in 2002 from the University of Rochester where she was associate provost for student services and dean of students. Prior to that, she was dean of students and chief student affairs officer at St. John Fisher College.
Cooper has been a student at almost every school where she's worked. At Michigan State University, where she earned a Ph.D. in college and university administration, she was a residential director. At the University of Georgia, while working in residential life, she earned a master's in education. Most recently, while dean of students at the University of Rochester, she picked up an MBA. The only exception was when she was dean of students and chief of student affairs at St. John Fisher College in Rochester.
In fall 2006, Cooper began a three-year program at Case Western Reserve University, which will add an Executive Doctor of Management degree to her portfolio.
