Experienced academic and university services professional approved as a member of the NDPMA Board of Trustees' diversity, equity and inclusion committee.

Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy announced today that Glenn McIntosh has accepted a position on the Board of Trustees' diversity, equity and inclusion committee. 

McIntosh currently serves as senior vice president for student affairs and chief diversity officer at Oakland University in Rochester, Mich., where he provides strategic leadership for one of the largest divisions on campus with more than 24 departments. In addition, he is the founding director of the Academic Advising Resource Center and served as the founding director of the Center for Multicultural Initiatives (formerly the Office of Equity). He also established the Trustee Academic Success Scholarship program.

Andrew Guest, head of school at NDPMA, is delighted to have someone with McIntosh's experience join the board's DEI committee.  

"Not only is Glenn an expert in the field, he also understands the Catholic nature of our school and how important our religious beliefs are to our mission," Guest said. "True diversity comes out of respect for the dignity of all humans, who we know were created in the image and likeness of God.  Glenn's background as a minister gives him a unique perspective that matches our school well. We are very happy to have him on our team!"

McIntosh has successfully directed many OU campus capital projects, including the construction of two residence halls, an outdoor recreation and athletic facility, and a major renovation and expansion of the student union. Previously, McIntosh worked as the assistant vice president and dean of student life at Oakland University. Before Oakland, he held a number of administrative positions at Wayne State University, Eastern Michigan University and Bowling Green State University.

McIntosh, who resides in Macomb, Mich., with his wife, Lia, serves as an active member of many professional and community-based organizations, including the Metro Detroit Youth Clubs Board of Trustees, Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program (DAPCEP) Board of Directors, Renaissance Unity Spiritual Center Ministerial Team, Southeast Michigan Omega Foundation Incorporated Board of Directors, and Sacred Heart of Michigan. He is also co-chair of the Oakland University and City of Pontiac Partnership Initiative.

A native Detroiter, McIntosh earned his master's degree in community and agency counseling from Wayne State University and bachelor's degrees in sociology and business administration from Central Michigan University. In addition, he is a licensed professional mental health counselor, minister and certified strength and conditioning trainer.
