Jenn knew since her Junior undergraduate year that she wanted to work with young adults. She disliked her teaching practicum enough to drop her teaching major, switching to her English minor. During her undergraduate years, Jenn was very involved in SGA; was an Orientation leader; did Admissions tours; and transitioned to RA for her dorm. It felt like home, and Jenn loved making personal connections. Student Affairs, what we know as Student Life, helped Jenn so much and she wanted to return that to other students.

What Jenn loves most about being the Student Life Director:

The students! The students at LSSC are grateful, kind, considerate, and make her job fun! She gets to help students with time management, conflict resolution, and seeing things from other perspectives.

The most challenging thing about being Student Life Director:

Wearing two hats. Advocating for students’ needs and wants as well as navigating the political environment and college policies and procedures.

What Jenn wishes every LSSC student would know:

That a small part of student tuition goes to a student activity fee, and by not engaging with student life, you’re not taking full advantage.

You can see Jenn hard at work in her office from the Student Lounge in building #2.

Thank you, and we appreciate you, Jenn!
