The Office of the University Registrar is pleased to welcome Mike Wickham as Assistant Registrar for Registration and Scheduling. Wickham started on July 1.

Wickham is an OU graduate. While completing his degrees, he gained valuable experience as a work-study student in the Office of the Registrar, as a Graduate Assistant in the College of Education Student Services Office, and with Precollege Orientation. Wickham received a Bachelor of Education in Secondary Education in 1989 and a Master of Education in College Student Personnel in 1994.

After completing his studies at Ohio University, Wickham was hired as Education Coordinator of SEPTA Correctional Facility in Nelsonville. Wickham worked for the facility for ten years.

With a switch to larger scale administrative functions, Wickham is adjusting to his new position as Assistant Registrar for Registration and Scheduling. Wickham oversees registration, service windows, scheduling, and veterans services processes. This includes managing online registration, various assessments, class and classroom scheduling, production of the quarterly Schedule of Classes, online faculty class lists, and the production and distribution of student academic schedules.

Born and raised in Athens, Wickham enjoys being involved with the University. “I’m glad to be back on OU’s campus. I enjoy being in an environment of higher education,” Wickham said. “Everyone has been very welcoming, supportive, and helpful.”

University Registrar Debra Benton said as an Ohio University alumnus Wickham brings a new type of knowledge to the staff. “We believe he is a great asset. He brings great knowledge about the University,” said Benton.

Along with his extensive knowledge about the University, Wickham brings great expectations for his position. “My goal is to make sure this office provides accurate and efficient processing systems for students, faculty, and staff,” said Wickham.

Wickham and his partner, Shannon, live in Athens in the house that his great-grandma built in 1939. He enjoys home repair and remodeling as well as bicycling. Wickham also plays trumpet in Communiversity “Under the Elms” Summer Concert band, a group he has been involved with for over 20 years.
