Meet Trista

If you spend any time in the CMU, you’ve probably seen Trista – or at least some of her handiwork! Trista Bentler has been a staple in the Student Union Administration Office since 2011 helping us with a variety of tasks to keep the office running, making sure reservations are taken care of, and, most recently, becoming our resident chalk artist!

You may have noticed that we added chalkboards to the Info Desk during the spring semester, but you may not know that Trista is often the person who creates fun designs to keep you informed about campus events and opportunities. She’s also lent her talents to the chalkboard outside the Student Senate office to help them Welcome New Dragons during the June Dragon Days.

We’re so glad to have Trista as part of our team in the student union – we honestly don’t know what we’d do without her! Not only is she artistic, she is great at helping our student organizations make reservations for events and meetings. We appreciate her attention to detail and her customer service skills. (Side note: if you haven’t made reservations for your fall events and meetings, give us a call 218-477-2261 or reserve on our website).

Trista adds an element of fun to our office, not just with her artsy chalkboards, but also with her personality! If you know Trista, you probably know she has a great attitude sprinkled with fun and topped with a little bit of sass – and we wouldn’t have it any other way!
