She received her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Adult Education and holds an M.A. and B.S. from the University of Minnesota-Minneapolis.

Sandmann is the co-director of the Clearinghouse and National Review Board for the Scholarship of Engagement (funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation). She teaches graduate-level courses in higher and continuing education leadership, organizational change, and program assessment and evaluation. Her research interests are in the area of the institutionalization of outreach and engagement in higher education, faculty scholarship, and policies and practices that support adult students in higher education.

As a leader in high education, Sandmann has served the roles of associate vice president for Public Service and Outreach and as the executive director of the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, one of the world's largest university-based comprehensive residential conference centers. She was also the vice provost for the Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Partnerships from 1999 to 2001 at Cleveland State University (CSU) in Cleveland, Ohio, where she provided central administrative leadership for developing external relationships and programs that leverage resources; provided increased academic, research, and service opportunities for faculty and students; and positioned CSU as an important engaged partner in northeastern Ohio. In addition, she established focused, university-wide strategic partnerships to benefit the university's mission as the director of University Outreach from 1993 to 1999 as the associate professor in Educational Administration at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich. There, she provided leadership to major university-wide partnerships, particularly in urban settings and developed models for successful partnerships with other educational institutions, non-profit organizations, government agencies, businesses, and industries.
