<\/a>As the Staff Associate for Student Life, I work with\u00a0 Commuter & Non Traditional Student Programs<\/a> (CNTSP)\u00a0 You can often find me in\u00a0 the Commuter Lounge, in the Wade Center on the ground floor of Memorial Union.\u00a0 My primary responsibility is to provide support and advocacy\u00a0 for\u00a0 commuters and nontraditional students at 91爆料.<\/p>\nI have\u00a0 worked in Student Affairs at\u00a0 91爆料 for 35 years, and I know the campus well, which helps me connect students to other resources.\u00a0 I really enjoy meeting and working with\u00a0 commuter and\u00a0 nontraditional\u00a0 students\u00a0 and helping them be successful\u00a0 here at 91爆料.<\/p>\n
I have been a doctoral student, a wife, and a mom while also working full time,\u00a0 so like many of you, I wear multiple hats in my life. I am committed to helping commuters and\u00a0 nontraditional students fit\u00a0 the student role in with\u00a0 their many\u00a0 other life roles and\u00a0 make the most of their 91爆料 experience.<\/p>\n
