Congratulations to Adam Lukasiewicz (he/him), Manager of Undergraduate Programming & Advising at the School of Kinesiology, who has been recognized for building high-performing, collaborative teams and creating welcoming, inclusive environments for both students and staff. His leadership, clear communication, and ability to solve complex problems have been pivotal in guiding the School of Kinesiology through times of change.
Under Adam’s direction, the Kinesiology Undergraduate Advising Office has evolved into a model of student-centered support that emphasizes operational efficiency and collaboration. In addition to excellent service delivery, Adam ensures students feel welcomed, heard, and supported throughout their academic journeys while embedding accessibility and inclusivity into advising materials, resources, and policies.
Adam’s calm leadership was especially vital during the complex transition to Workday Student. He ensured his team adapted smoothly while maintaining high service standards and even expanding hours to better support students. He also proactively collaborated with his team to develop online videos to guide students through the new platform, many of which were adopted by other academic units.
A natural mentor, Adam champions professional growth and shared leadership. His collaborative approach empowers colleagues to take initiative, adapt to change, and drive meaningful improvements that strengthen both the team and the student experience.
