Welcoming New Faculty and Staff to the #DragonFamily
Many new faculty and staff joined us during Fall semester. Perhaps you met some new colleagues at the Deans Chili Feed or the Ice Cream Social during homecoming week.
The stories (below) about new Dragon staff came about through interviews with students. (Marketing students interview new employees as practice before interviewing alumni and donors.)
We invite you to read these Q&A’s and see these photos to recognize new teammates and welcome them, albeit belatedly, to the Dragon community.

Pam Gohl – Deputy Athletic Director (started 8/10)
Heather Kirby – Assistant Veteran Resource Outreach Director (started 8/28)

*The list above does not include all new employees that joined MSUM between July and October 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.
