Office of Student Care and Conduct
About Us
Lisa Simons, Executive Assistant
I joined MTSU in November 2007 and worked as secretary for the Student Government Association. In April 2010 I became an Administrative Assistant for the Office of Student Care and Conduct.
MTSU is the perfect place for me to work because I am a mother of 3 children, grandmother of 2, and have always loved being around children of all ages. In the Office of Student Care and Conduct I feel that my love for children helps me make students feel at ease when they come to our office for conduct meetings.
Working at MTSU is very rewarding opportunity for me, and I love working at such a great university!
