Jonathan Solis, Director of Academic Advisement
I look forward to working with young people to get them on a streamlined path toward their futures of service. Good advice and support is of utmost importance as the costs of further education and career training continue to increase. I want my students to know that what they are doing is preparing them for their future careers in the most efficient and effective way possible so they can leave the university on a meaning-filled path toward a plan, and not burdened by wasted resources.
I have worked with young people preparing for careers and further education as a high school teacher for over a decade. My last three years I served as a high school registrar and career counselor. I studied history at Walla Walla University and continued graduate school at La Sierra University, where I earned a degree in school administration.
I was born in the Midwest where I developed a love for the outdoors and open spaces. I moved to College Place with my family before junior high. I benefited from excellent education while attending the satellite campuses of Rogers and Walla Walla Valley Academy before earning my undergraduate degree from WWU. My passion for the outdoors continued to grow while living in South Eastern Washington; what I now call home. If I cannot go fishing, I enjoy running, cycling, skiing, basketball, camping, climbing, photography, writing, or just about anything that gets me and the family outside. My wife, Melissa, and I met at Walla Walla University. We have three kids - Finn, Emma, and Fletcher - and a dog, Maverick.
Paul Morgan, Transportation & Warehouse Coordinator
I look forward to streamlining any processes and improve usability for the university’s needs.
I have an associates in auto repair. Over the years I’ve worked on everything from minivans to coach busses. If it has wheels I’ve probably worked on it or driven it or both.
I grew up moving around Oregon. As a teenager I left the church and returned a couple years later. I have a passion to see younger people not make similar mistakes. To understand that faith is about a partnership with God and true religion is true freedom.
