The candidate was presented with the following questions. The responses are printed as received and have not been edited by Staff Congress.
1. What do you perceive as the responsibilities of the Staff Regent?
To bring to the table the needs and demands of all staff members.
2. Do you understand the governance of the Board of Regents and how you would serve in that capacity? Explain.
I would be the voice of the staff, and after listening to what they want our need, bring that to the Board of Regents as their voice. To guarantee that their voice is heard.
3. Serving as Staff Regent requires time commitments during the normal work hours (8 a.m.- 4:30 p.m.), nights and weekends. Are you aware of the time commitment involved, and will you be able to devote this time and still perform your regular work duties?
Yes
4. Describe the most important work or University service experiences which will assist you in being an effective Staff Regent.
The staff is a family, and I am part of them. I know them, and they know me. I work alongside them, and have earned their trust which I will use to better the lives of my MSU family.
5. Have you served in campus governance before and if so, how long and in what capacity? (example Staff Congress, Faculty/Staff Insurance and Benefits Committee, etc.)
I have never been a part of any campus governance, but that may be just what is needed.
6. If elected the 2021-24 regent, what will be your top goals to benefit MSU staff?
To ensure that the staff is recognized. That the blood, sweat, and tears of my fellow Staff is truly appreciated, and just deserves are appropriately provided. The staff is the foundation of the University. Without us, the students and faculty would have to fend for themselves with the Control, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing, and Cleaning of their offices, dorms, buildings, etc. We are the cogs that make the University run.
