Chris Roman

Chris started in 2024 as a first-year advisor for the College of Engineering. He comes with two years of experience advising first-year students at South Dakota Mines, a STEM institution located in western South Dakota. Previously, he was a math teacher for several years in Kyle, SD, where he taught 9th grade Oglala-Lakota students at Little Wound High School.

These experiences come together to support his drive to help first-year students in their experience at OSU. Being a first-generation student himself, one of his primary goals is to ensure that students have equitable access to all resources available at OSU, and to ensure that they can develop the skillsets needed to succeed in the College of Engineering.
