#DragonFamily Stories – Meet New Spring 2022 Colleagues
We have more new colleagues that joined us January through May! Among them are an Iron Man competitor, avid readers, and fans of Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings and heavy metal music.
Read their stories to learn more interesting tidbits and to welcome them to the Dragon community!
Some attended MSUM for their undergraduate and/or graduate degrees and some hail from other universities. A common theme among this crew is the welcoming atmosphere of MSUM that drew them here. And all derive energy from being around and serving students.
In fact, these stories came about through interviews with students. (Marketing students interview new employees as practice before interviewing alumni and donors for other stories.)

In addition, some stories about Spring arrivals are still being finalized and will be shared in the next Dragon Family news post.
