Hello MACRAO!
It is my pleasure to introduce myself to our MACRAO membership as this year's president. I am glad to serve and I am very excited for what this year has in store.
A quick introduction… My name is Kristi Peterson and I have been the Director of Admissions and Recruitment at MSU-Northern for the past three years. Originally from Malta, Montana, it has been fun to be back up on the Hi-Line revisiting my old stomping grounds. Organizations like MACRAO and MPSEOC have been integral in helping me understand the climate of higher education in Montana and introducing me to a network of colleagues who work together to serve our students. During an inspired moment at the 2015 Spring MACRAO meeting, I think I may have nominated myself to be a MACRAO officer (no joke). And here I am!
I'd like to thank Montana Tech and Leslie Dickerson for hosting our meeting last week in Butte, America. As always, it was fun to reconnect with everyone and drill down on the topics that are priorities for most, if not all of us. As I walked out of the meeting, a little birdie (Jerri) talked to me about a few opportunities we have to enhance our meetings for fall and spring. Very Exciting! So, hold on to your hats, folks! Things are going to ramp up for MACRAO!
With that, I embark on the next 12 months feeling encouraged by and hopeful for the many things we can achieve in 2016-2017. Thank you for the opportunity!
All My Best…
Kristi
