Tiffany
Slinkard, TRIO Director
I graduated from McDonald County High School and then elected
to attend Drury University in Springfield, MO. I earned a
bachelor's degree in biology with a minor in psychology. I
then earned a master's degree in biology from Pittsburg State
University in Pittsburg, KS. I have now been with the Crowder
College TRIO Programs since 1995. I genuinely enjoy my work
with students and staff and love working in the college environment.
In my spare time I listen to music, travel, read, dabble in
photography and snow ski. My favorite saying, which frequently
comes with a high-five is, "You Rock!" |

Doreen
Clouse,
TRIO Assistant
Hello,
I am Doreen Clouse, the TRIO Administrative Assistant. I
graduated from Crowder College in May 2005 with an Associates
Degree in Accounting. I am continuing to take classes at
Crowder to obtain a Business Degree. As a student at Crowder,
I learned about the TRIO Program through the SSS group.
Since then, I have learned that there are a variety of opportunities
that TRIO offers students. The most important thing I have
learned is that an education is a fundamental action for
anyone wanting to succeed in life. I truly enjoy my position,
knowing that I am playing a small part in helping students
advance and learn that college is a wonderful experience.
In my spare time I enjoy coaching softball and attending
my children’s sporting events. I love reading, listening
to good music, and hanging out with my family. I have been
married to my husband, Mike for over 20 years. We have four
great kids: Derrick, Courtney, Breonna [a.k.a. Breezy],
and Braydan.

Stephanie
Ferguson, SSS Assistant Director
I began my TRIO experience as the SSS Math Specialist in 1993.
I earned an Associates degree in General Studies from Crowder
College and then transferred to Southwest Missouri State University
in Springfield, MO for my Bachelors degree in mathematics
education. After a short teaching stint, I headed to Pittsburg
State University where I earned a Masters degree in
mathematics. Hobbies and interests of mine include spending
time with my family, scrapbooking, sewing, and reading. |

Lisa
Adams, Academic Coordinator, Student Support Services
(SSS)
When I began my college career at Crowder College in the fall
of 1990 I was a straight out of high school freshman. When
I completed my Bachelors degree from Missouri Southern State
University in May 2006 I had a husband, three kids, a mortgage
and a full time job. I understand the value of completing
your college education regardless of the number of years it
may take. In 1993 I began my career with Crowder College.
I have always worked within the Student Services area because
I feel there are no greater rewards than helping a student
achieve their goals. My hobbies are attending my children’s
sporting events, reading and working in my flower garden.

Hi! I am Jamie Stanley and I have been with the Crowder College

a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Human Performance
from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK, and a
Master of Science degree in Community Health from the University
of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR. I enjoy spending time with
my wife and two daughters, watching and playing sports, and
traveling. My words of wisdom for students are, "Anything
is possible... it is a matter of how hard you are willing
to work for it." |
