Associate registrar Gina Crabtree will become the Wichita State University Registrar on June 10 upon the retirement of Bill Wynne, according to the Office of the Provost.

Wynne has served as registrar for 36 years.

The provost’s office will begin a search for an associate registrar to fill the vacancy created by Crabtree’s promotion.

“Bill Wynne has set a very high standard for excellence as university registrar for the last 36 years,” said associate provost Linnea GlenMaye. “We feel very fortunate that we have someone with Gina Crabtree’s experience and skills to lead the registrar’s office as we move forward in the coming years.”

Crabtree came to WSU’s Office of Admissions in 1995 and served as director of admissions from 2003-2007. She was director of budgets and personnel for the Division of Campus Life and University Relations from 2007-2009, and has been associate registrar since 2009. She was selected to become registrar through WSU’s internal promotion policy.

“I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to lead the registrar’s office,” said Crabtree. “It’s an honor to work with and serve the students, faculty and staff of Wichita State.”

She received her bachelor’s degree in political science/public administration from Northern Arizona University and a Master of Business Administration from Wichita State.
