Owen Guthrie
Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and Enrollment Management
Owen Guthrie became vice chancellor of student affairs and enrollment management in January 2022. The new position resulted from a merger of two ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ executive posts.
Guthrie directed the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ eCampus for three years before his appointment as vice chancellor. Guthrie also served eight years as an instructor of online pedagogy and instructional design for the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ School of Education's master's degree program in online innovation and design. He played a key role in ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ's strategic enrollment planning starting in 2018, and he served as acting associate vice chancellor for enrollment management starting in spring 2021.
Guthrie, born and raised in Fairbanks, began his ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ career in 1984 at what is today the Community and Technical College. In 1992, he earned a bachelor's degree from Colorado State University in wildlife biology, with an emphasis in geographic information systems and spatial data analysis, and in 2009 he earned a master's degree in military history from Norwich University. Guthrie also served as director of information technology at Michigan's Olivet College for four years before returning to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ in 2013.
