to be a part of a student’s success and to make sure that they feel welcomed, valued

Email: [email protected]
Diane graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from SUNY Plattsburgh in 1997, majoring

study and jumped into the work force. After seven years, Diane was able to return
to SUNY Plattsburgh as a staff member for a promotional position.
Her favorite part of her job is student contact. She loves meeting new people and
helping others, and if Diane doesn’t know the answer to a question, she will find
someone who will! — (But she always has answers if you have questions about her rescue
cats!)
