Biography
Dawn Brockman is a proven leader in connecting people to resources and innovative engagement. She joined USAO as part of the Alumni and Development team in August 2021 after a long career in service to public education, most recently as the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils (2017-2022) and as the Student Congress Advisor and Leadership teacher in Norman Public Schools (2007-2021). In 2024, she became the Dean of Students for USAO.
Brockman’s dedication to public education began after earning her Bachelor of Arts
in classics and a law degree from the University of Oklahoma. She launched her teaching
career at Putnam City North, her alma mater, before transitioning to the Oklahoma
State School Boards Association as a staff attorney. After leaving OSSBA, she continued
her journey as a teacher with over 20 years in the classroom, including 14 years at
Norman High School where she also served as Student Congress advisor. Brockman’s commitment
to inclusive leadership led her to the Oklahoma Association of Student Councils, where
she served as executive director, mentoring and advising students, teachers and schools
statewide.
"I'm thrilled to step into the role of Dean of Students at USAO," said Brockman. "Having
spent years in the classroom and working closely with students, this opportunity feels
like coming home. My heart is truly in education, and I'm genuinely excited to embark
on this journey of supporting and nurturing every student's growth, both academically
and personally."
