Cassandra Baehler first joined AIS-Salzburg in 2017 as a Resident Assistant (R.A.), a position of which she was overqualified —when considering her Masters in Foreign Language and Pedagogy— but it enabled her to get her foot-in-the-door, eventually leading to her current position as Dean of Students. Her two years of experience as an R.A. allowed Cassandra the opportunity to work first hand with students and gain insight into what was working well and what could use improvement with regards to student life. Now entering her second year as Dean of Students, Cassandra continues to implement new strategies and programs to further enhance student life at AIS-Salzburg.
