BARBARA CORMACK
Barbara Cormack is a second year, full-time student. She spent 11 years working in
student services at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, first at the School of Nursing
and then in the Registrar's Office. She migrated from Wisconsin to Oregon in 1996, to be
near family and to leave behind snow, ice and humidity, and decided to broaden her skills
in the business world. The desire to return to higher education surfaced, however, and she
found the perfect solution in the CSSA program. Her career goal is to work in Financial
Aid and she has a particular interest in transfer students. She has found it very interesting
to return to higher ed as a student after thirty-some years --- a few things have changed!
She helped train staff at Student Health Services since they didn't know that some
students are old enough to be exempt from the immunization requirements. She also
surprised an Army recruiter who called to offer up to $50K for educational expenses for
students who enlist - obviously he had no idea he was calling a student who has adult
children of her own! Barbara would be happy to be contacted over the summer -- at
cormackb@onid.orst.edu.
ANNETTE MARTEL
Annette Martel grew up in North Dakota, but hasn't lived there since 1997 when she got
her degree in communications from the University of North Dakota. Since taking her first
"real job" in Georgia, where she worked in public relations for Habitat for Humanity
International, she has gradually been moving Westward. Next she moved to Chicago
where she managed Habitat for Humanity's campus chapters and got to drive around to
pretty much every college in the Midwest and talk to students. She loved this, but she
wanted to try her hand at being a writer, so she moved to Minneapolis to work for a PR
firm and found out just how totally unfulfilling writing about "products" is. To remedy
this and shock friends and relatives, she moved to Keystone, Colorado, to be a ski bum,
but mainly to be with her boyfriend. And last fall, we moved to sunny Corvallis, Oregon.
Annette's first year of grad school was spent as the grad assistant in Community Service
Learning. Not to break her pattern of movement, she is moving into the Leadership grad
assistantship for her second year--where her new office is ever-so-slightly West of her
old office. Please feel free to contact me at annette_martel@yahoo.com
