Pamela Schreiber, who has more than 20 years of experience in higher education, including extensive experience in housing at large institutions, has been selected as the UW’s new director of housing and food services, Vice President and Vice Provost for Student Life Eric Godfrey has announced.
Schreiber currently serves as director of university housing at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, a position she has held since 2003. In this position, she manages a budget of $4.7 million. The university currently provides housing for 2,352 students.
“Dr. Schreiber impressed us with her deep experience in higher education generally and in the operation of housing programs in particular,” Godfrey said. “She has participated in housing capital projects which of course will be an important element of her work here, and she has a sophisticated understanding of the powerful role that student residences can play in building community for students, providing opportunities for engagement and enhancing the overall student experience. We look forward to her leadership in this vitally important area.”
Schreiber’s other housing experience includes work in the Department of University Housing at the University of Georgia from 1993 to 1999. She was responsible for a residential area consisting of three communities housing a total of 3,000 students.

Her master of arts degree, in college student personnel, is from Bowling Green State University, and her bachelor of arts degree in social welfare is from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Schreiber’s appointment is effective in late March.
