The Washington State University Office of the Provost and its Division of Academic Engagement and Student Achievement (DAESA) is pleased to share a preview of upcoming leadership transitions within Academic Success and Career Services (ASCC) and University Advising. These changes reflect the Provost Office’s continued commitment to strengthening advising, career development, and student success across the WSU system.
After more than a decade of dedicated leadership as executive director of the Academic Success and Career Center, Terese King will transition to a new role as the executive director for University Advising. A long-tenured WSU leader with decades of service to the institution, King has played a central role in shaping centralized academic advising and career support for students. Her work has focused on improving access to advising, integrating academic and career planning, and advancing coordinated student success strategies. In this new role, King will provide strategic leadership and direction for the university’s new shared advising model, in which lead advisors in each college and campus partially report to her, aligning advising practices across the WSU system to support consistency, collaboration, and innovation.
Alongside this transition, Amanda Morgan will assume the role of interim director for Academic Success and Career Services. Morgan currently serves as associate director of Career Services within ASCC, and brings extensive experience in career development, employer engagement, academic advising, and student support. Since joining WSU in 2008, she has been instrumental in advancing career readiness initiatives, blending academic advising with career coaching, and strengthening partnerships across campus and with employers. Her deep institutional knowledge, collaborative leadership style, and commitment to student success position her well to lead ASCC during this transition period.
The Provost’s Office is excited about these leadership updates and the continuity, growth, and momentum that King and Morgan have committed to for University Advising and the Academic Success and Career Services.
