McNEESE STATE UNIVERSITY
Constitution Day was enacted as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 to commemorate the September 17th, 1787 signing of the Constitution. The U.S. Department of Education released a Notice of Implementation to announce that all educational institutions receiving federal financial funding must provide educational programs pertaining to the United States Constitution on September 17th of each year. McNeese celebrates Constitution Day on September 17th. However, when September 17th falls on a weekend or holiday, it is celebrated during the preceding or following week.

My favorite part of being a Freshman Advisor is helping students navigate their new life routine as a college freshman by offering support with in-person office visits or by email to help students meet their goals. I always remind students of my favorite BB King quote – “Education is one thing no one can ever take away from you.” I believe that supporting students is vital to a student's success.
In my spare time, I raise registered American Brahman cattle, and I enjoy all the "country girl" things like hunting, fishing, growing a garden and cooking.
