Welcome to the #DragonFamily

As we navigate a busy fall, we might encounter colleagues we hadn’t met yet!

Many new Dragons have joined the University this past spring and summer. Click on the names below to learn more about them!

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.

Bailie Lambrech – OAS Senior in the Financial Aid and Scholarship office, started March 13

Ashley Jetvig – Human Resources coordinator, started April 4

Laura Caroon – assistant director of engagement for the MSUM Foundation, started April 4

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