Neil E. Golemo

Neil E. Golemo, PhD. is an educator, scholar, and collaborator dedicated to the development of Higher Education. He is currently the Director of Campus Living & Learning at Texas A&M’s Galveston Campus where he has served since 2006. A proud “expert generalist”, his current portfolio includes housing, all campus conduct, academic misconduct, camps & conferences, university accreditation, and he chairs the Campus CARE/BIT Team. Neil holds degrees in Communications and Higher Ed Administration from Baylor University (‘04, ’06) and a PhD in Higher Education Administration from Texas A&M (’23). His research interests include Title IX reporting and policy (especially where it intersects with minoritized communities), Campus threat assessment and intervention practices, Higher Ed leadership and governance, and systems of student success. He has consulted and supported multiple campuses on topics ranging from leadership, assessment, and curricular design to Title IX investigation and barriers to reporting. He has presented and published at numerous conferences, including NASPA, ACPA, TACUSPA, TAASA, and was recently a featured presenter at ATIXA’s National Conference.  He holds a faculty role with ACPA’s Institute for the Curricular Approach and was recently elected as TACUSPA’s VP for Education and Research.

Of all his accomplishments, accolades, and titles, Neil’s greatest source of pride is the relationships his life has allowed him to build with the people whose paths have crossed with his. His greatest joy is his family. He is a proud husband and father, helping to raise two girls, two dogs, and the occasional hamster. He works every day to be worthy of the love and respect he enjoys, knowing that even though he may never earn it, he’s going to get caught trying.
