Employee profile: Shelley Stoltenberg

Position: Special Populations Coordinator; my office is in V123 on the Lincoln campus

Educational Background – I have a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Psychology from Moorhead State University in Moorhead, Minn. (now called Minnesota State University at Moorhead)

Hometown – I grew up in a small farming community in the southwest corner of Minnesota called Luverne

Family – My husband Scott is a Psychology Professor at UNL

Free Time – I love to garden, paint, read and cook, pretty much in that order.

Pets – I have a fourteen year old dog that we adopted when he was four from a shelter in Lead, S.D. He had been living out of a car with two other dogs and two people.  His name is Buckley, and he’s a funny little dude.

Where would I want to retire – If money was not an issue, I’d retire in southern England, but I’ll probably just stay here in wonderful Nebraska.

What is my mission – My mission is to help students find their path and graduate from SCC.

Favorite Season – Spring!  No question about that one. I love it when the spring flowers start to push out of the ground, the grass greens up, and the trees leaf out and bloom.  It’s a new and exciting beginning that holds promise for great joy every year.
