This is the sixteenth edition of the McNeese State University (MSU) Factbook developed by the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (IRE). This publication provides statistical trend information presented in tables and charts, as well as other information provided for the most current year available. The Office of IRE collects, compiles, and disseminates information on all facets of the University on a continuous basis. This publication provides a wealth of information about MSU and is designed to give University constituents and external reporting agencies easy access to statistical data pertaining to the institution.
The concerted effort of the Office of IRE staff is to make this publication a useful resource for retrieving University information. The staff wishes to thank all of the offices and individual persons on campus who contributed information and suggestions.
I am a McNeese graduate with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Science and a concentration in Child and Family Studies. As a student, I competed on the rodeo team and served on the SGA board. I earned my master’s degree in 2022 from the University of South Dakota in Educational Administration and Leadership with a concentration in Adult and Higher Ed. I have over 13 years of experience in adult education and 20 years of educational experience.
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.
