November rural staff spotlight: Casey Chandler

Casey Chandler serves as the student success coach for the Bristol Bay Campus.

Casey, as the student success coach, consistently goes above and beyond her job description. She infused art and color into the campus by organizing team-building sessions where staff and faculty created holiday-themed art, which was then displayed throughout the campus and town. While registering students for courses is not primarily part of her role, Casey takes the initiative to lead in this area. The care she shows to students seeking guidance is unparalleled, as she routinely follows up with them and acts as an "accountability buddy" for their success. Casey is truly a unique individual, and her friendly and supportive nature shines as she graciously assists students at every stage of their higher education journey.
