Staff Spotlight: Mandy Stacy brings success
0Written By Jami Young
Student Success is an office that gives first-year students a support system to have the components to be successful in their first year of college. As part of her efforts to assist students, Mandy Stacy, advisor in Student Success, has been blessing students with notes out of a blessing jar for years. Sophomore Amanda Back usually stops in the office to get a blessing from the jar before a big test. “The blessing jar encourages students especially with tests,” Back said. When one steps in to “Miss Mandy’s” office, it is often filled with multiple students at a time. The blessing jar is a favorite among students. When asked why the blessing jar was created, Stacy knew exactly what to say. “Because we are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus. One of the most efficient ways is through words,” she said. Stacy can be out of her office at times because she is helping a student out of the office. “Since I can’t always be at my desk physically because I am around the whole campus, the blessing jar is an item that students can come and use every day to get a blessing,” she said. If you ever have a test, need time management help, or just need to talk, Stacy and the whole Student Success team would love to talk and help you. Their offices are located in the Administration Building, level 2.
