Professor Kingsley
Dean Steinhelm is Professor Kingsley's boss. In Chapter 9, she comes to Kingsley's office to inform him/her that the New York Anthropological Society has asked him/her to be their keynote speaker at their Perspectives on Culture and Society conference at Martha's Vineyard. Belvoire University has been pleased with his/her work over the past few years and hopes he/she will do them proud at the conference.

In Chapter 16, when the photo of you two holding hands at Martha's Vineyard hits 'The T', Dean Steinhelm is livid. During the summer, she emails him/her informing him/her that the school is placing him/her on administrative leave and that they will be conducting a disciplinary hearing before the school board.

In Book 2, Chapter 1, she tells Professor Kingsley that he/she will not be fired today. He/she has made immense contributions to Belvoire University and she would like to give him/her another chance. However, if Kingsley is seen with you in the future, he/she will be fired.

Your Character
In Book 1, Chapter 2, when you are accused of being a cheater, you receive a letter from the Dean's office stating that while they will not act on unproven claims, they have zero tolerance for cheaters. In Chapter 3, Zoey says that the Dean is a smart woman and will see through any false claims. In Chapter 9, she suggests to Professor Kingsley that he/she take you to the anthropology conference.

In Book 2, Chapter 1, with the picture taken of you and Professor Kingsley holding hands poolside at the anthropology conference, Dean Steinhelm calls you both for a meeting to discuss your futures. Regardless of the status of your relationship with Professor Kingsley - whether it be purely professional or intimate in nature, she fires you from your position as Professor Kingsley's TA and states that if you two are caught together again, you will be expelled.

When you are accused of selling Adderall to students, Dean Steinhelm puts you on a temporary suspension. She tells you that you are the face of Belvoire regardless if you won the Person to Watch Award or not. If Chloe won, she tells you that absolutely no one takes her win seriously, and it is you who they regard as the true winner. Since you are the face of Belvoire and you have already one scandal attached to you (regardless of your relationship with Professor Kingsley), it is your responsibility to clear your name. Once you figure out that it was Maisie Pine behind the rumors, Steinhelm lifts your suspension.

Lexi Montgomery
In Chapter 4, if you recruited Penelope, Lexi Montgomery mentions that she had brunch with Marguerite and Penelope speaks very highly of you.
