In March 2024, Adriana Berent became Student Affairs’ Operations Manager. Key functions of her position include liaising with senior and executive leadership, planning divisional meetings and events, managing customer inquiries, initiating the employee onboarding process, and other important administrative responsibilities.
Adriana's experience at DePaul was quite unique starting as the Housing Assignments Coordinator in March 2021 (during the COVID-19 pandemic) and working her way up as the Housing Assignments Analyst (during the merger of DePaul Housing and Residential Education in Winter 2023). Prior to her time at DePaul, Adriana worked in the legal field as a client services coordinator and in the non-profit sector as an administrative coordinator. As you can presume, Adriana is well-suited for the Operations Manager position since she has handled many high-level administrative tasks and adapted to change effortlessly.
Outside of Student Affairs, you can find Adriana hiking, working out, listening to podcasts, or studying at a local coffee shop for one of her graduate school assignments. Adriana is well on her way to earning an MBA in DePaul’s Kellstadt Graduate School of Business (c/o 2025).
