A dean of students manages student affairs and other administrative activities of a school or college. This job position has to ensure that discipline and administrative policies are enforced, and students comply with. The jobholder has to solve students' academic and personal problems, and even act as a counselor to help students get out of emotional issues. He or she also has to ensure security of the campus, manage food and services, as well as work for student interest. To perform all these duties, the dean of students has to be a good leader with multi-tasking, communication, and coordination skills. To show the school or college board management your competence and accomplishment, you will need a cover letter that can create a virtual image of yours as the perfect candidate for the job.
Since it is customary to do some research of the institution you are looking to apply to, you must start the cover letter writing process following this custom. The research must be focused on gathering everything about the academic culture of the institution. This will help you in touching the right string. Further, the job application must summarize your experiential credentials. It must also tell the readers that you hold an excellent academic record and are good at liaising with the community. In short, the cover letter must make the readers anxious to read your resume that is attached with it.

Dear Mr. Navarro,
Are you looking for a dean of students who is experienced in handling student affairs, security, food and dining, and can provide emotional support to students? If yes, you will be happy to meet me in person and offer me the job as I have a strong experience of five years in managing the administration of education sectors as well as an excellent academic record. My leadership qualities along with coordination, communication, and community interaction skills laid out on my resume will make it easy for you to select me for the job.
In these five years, I have served as an instant and easy resource for students and teachers. For me, solving problems of everyone associated with the institution has become a matter of pride. Whether students are facing emotional problems and stress due to pressure of study, I have solved them through individualized counseling. My analytic skills and ability to provide diplomatic solutions to the administration of the facility have ensured trouble-free operations. I even initiated and led an outreach program in liaising with the community leaders and motivated youngsters to take education and do their part for the society.
In addition, my experience of assisting head teachers in curriculum preparation, acting as a proctor, and representing the facility for cultural programs can help your institute in reaching to people at far distance. Furthermore, I am experienced in managing the three primary aspects of educational sectors – security, food and dining, and student interests.
I feel this much introduction of my career is enough to judge me for the job position as I don't want to add everything and waste your time in reading it. I will be happy to discuss about that in person for which I need a few moments of yours out of your busy schedule. My cell phone is programmed to receive your call any time as you feel convenient.
Sincerely,
(Signature)
George C. Nestor
