While top University of Minnesota administrators tend to their work in Appleby Hall, Amelious Whyte has a “party” in his office, where he blasts house music and checks student emails.
As the Assistant Dean of Students and Chief of Staff of the Office for Student Affairs, Whyte, 45, spends his workdays clipping around campus, chatting with faculty members and representing the student voice in key University administrative offices.
“The joke is, I can’t really go anywhere on campus without someone knowing me,” Whyte said.
