Keith A. Paylo

Keith Paylo oversees the student experience outside of the classroom at Point Park University, which includes 19 different areas of the university such as residential life, student activities, co-curricular and cooperative education, study abroad and athletics.

Paylo's first brush with higher education came when he started as an undergraduate at Robert Morris University. He dreamed of becoming a professional soccer player, but soon learned that his passion was in higher education. Following graduation, he worked for his alma mater in enrollment management for thirteen years, influencing each new class of students on an administrative level. Wanting a more personal connection students, Paylo accepted the position of Senior Director of Student Services and eventually Dean of Students at Point Park in 2003.

During his time at Point Park, Paylo has witnessed the University transform. As the University has grown, so has Paylo's impact on the student experience, implementing an orientation program, growing residential life and new student activities like the Campus Activities Board. Even with all that he's done for campus, he cites the University's energy and dynamic student body as the motivation to continue to strive for success every day.

Paylo holds a bachelor of science in business administration and an MBA, both from Robert Morris University.
