Patrice Jefferies, Interim Coordinator of Student Life at West Campus, has recently filled the position once held by Jerry O’Sullivan.

Jefferies is a person who has been devoted to MATC for more than seventeen years.

Before her transfer in mid-July, she was working at the Welcome Center at the Downtown Campus.

 

Sue McCutcheon, Customer Service Representative,  said  of Jefferies, “[She is] Wonderful. She’s very energetic.” When Jefferies herself was interviewed and asked why she took the job, Jefferies said, “I want to give students leadership opportunities,” and then she added, “I want to find what students need and find ways to fulfill those dreams.”

 

As Interim Coordinator of Student Life, she is responsible for running student events and being advisor to the West Campus Student Government.

When Jefferies was asked what she wanted to say to the students, Jefferies said, “Get involved because you can really make a difference.”
