Partner Spotlight: Chyna Howell from Missouri S&T
At Missouri S&T, the heartbeat of the Student Success Center is Chyna Howell.
As Senior Program Manager and Knack Program Administrator (KPA), Chyna plays a vital role in ensuring that every student has access to meaningful, flexible academic support. From scaling tutoring operations to integrating new support models, she leads with purpose, strategy, and care. Under her leadership, S&T has not only expanded its peer tutoring footprint but reimagined what accessible, student-centered support can look like on campus.
Her vision? A one-stop shop for academic success where students can find the help they need—when, where, and how they need it. Her commitment? Ensuring Knack is fully embedded into the broader support ecosystem, not as an “add-on,” but as an essential, equitable service.
We’re proud to spotlight Chyna’s leadership, innovation, and deep commitment to student success.
