Meet New Colleagues: Welcome to the #DragonFamily
As spring is, perhaps, finally here, we reflect on how our Dragon Family has grown this past semester.
Below are stories about new faculty and staff that have joined the University.
These stories came about through interviews with students. (Marketing students interview new employees as practice before interviewing alumni and donors for other stories.)
We invite you to read these Q&A’s and see these photos to recognize new teammates and to welcome them, albeit belatedly, to the Dragon community.
Amber Visina and Joshua Johnson – both Assistant Professor of Psychology
Vanessa Bakke-Fabre – OAS Intermediate, Biosciences Department
Ryan Barnes – Assistant Track and Field Coach & ROTC Recruiting Representative
Kaitlin Eken – General Maintenance Worker, Building Services
Amanda Korynta – Assistant Director of Human Resources
Lisa Kremer – Case Manager/Navigator, Hendrix Clinic and Counseling Center
Paige Kosienski – Admissions Representative
David Stockdill – Veteran Services Outreach Director
*The list above does not include all new employees that joined MSUM between December 2022 and April 2023, but rather the ones that responded to requests for interviews. Stories are shared as they are completed. In addition, some stories about 2023 arrivals are still being finalized and will be shared in the next Dragon Family news post.

If you are a new employee that has not participated in a Welcome to the #DragonFamily story but would like to, let us know by emailing marketingteam@mnstate.edu. We’re sorry we missed you!
