Tanner Hilbish, MSW

ASSOCIATE SITE DIRECTOR, STUDENT LIFE

Tanner earned his B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Vermont. After exploring several career paths, he found his way to Mansfield Hall in 2017, where he spent several years as a Life Skills Coach. In this role, he worked closely with students to build healthy habits across a range of life skills, with a special focus on social communication and emotional regulation. 

During this time, Tanner developed a passion for Restorative Practices and created Mansfield Hall’s College Relationships Seminar. His work with students inspired him to pursue a Master’s in Social Work, during which he provided therapy for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 

Tanner went on to serve as Mansfield Hall’s Director of Social Emotional Learning, where he developed and facilitated a comprehensive SEL curriculum implemented across all three Mansfield Hall locations. In this role, he focused on interpersonal effectiveness, relationship development, emotional regulation, and overall student well-being. 

Now in his role as Associate Site Director of Student Life, Tanner continues to support students in building meaningful relationships, developing independent living skills, and thriving within a vibrant and supportive community. 

Outside of work, Tanner enjoys skiing in the winter, exploring swimming holes in the summer, and laughing as much as he possibly can. 

Congrats to our two new Mansfield Hall Burlington student ambassadors!

Each year first year students apply and interview to become ambassadors. These students are leaders within the community, responsible for creating experiences through program development, and serve a spokespeople for the broader student community. 

When asked what they were most looking forward to, this is what they had to say:

"I'm excited to help with the community meetings and activities" - Alex

"I'm most excited to be a bigger part of the community and connect better- and maybe plan more skiing trips this winter!" - John
We're so lucky to have an incredible team of staff across our three locations, and we want to highlight them!

Starting with Naomi, one of our Madison based Academic Directors.
