Even after 24 years on the Hill, Dr. Martha Sales looks forward to learning something new alongside Hilltoppers this year as she tackles a new role on campus: Interim Dean of Students.
A four-time alumna of WKU, Sales has strong connections to campus and is excited to continue working with students in her new role. Originally from Franklin, Sales came to campus as a first-generation and low-income student, which helped fuel her desire to serve students.
After earning her undergraduate degree in social work and a minor in African American Studies, Sales started helping others forge their path to WKU. As an Educational Talent Search counselor, she supported first-generation and Pell-eligible students through academic, career, and financial counseling.
As Interim Dean of Students, Sales continues to devote time and energy to helping students come to WKU and succeed on campus.
"I think students should know that I'm here to assist them with the climb. I'm all about building relationships with students and about hearing what they have to say. I want students to know that, in essence, I work for them!"
