P.E.O. Hall Staff

Hall Director

Glenda Jackson Crowder Hi! My name is Glenda Crowder and I am the hall director at P.E.O. Hall. I will be starting my second year in P.E.O. Hall. I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a degree in education. I taught science and served as an assistant principal, principal, and school reform specialist in Dallas and the Kansas City area. I now work in the area of tourism for Nevada. If you need maps or directions, let me know! I have one son who graduated from Kansas University in 2008. I am also a P.E.O. Cottey is a wonderful school and a great place for women. I grew up in Nevada and always viewed Cottey College as the place to be, and it is even better now than it was then. Welcome and have a great year!

Resident Assistants

	Jessie Cummins Hi! I'm Jessie Cummins, from the beautiful state of Oregon. I will be the resident assistant in Illinois Suite on the second floor of P.E.O. Hall next year. I enjoy long walks on the beach and eating mint chocolate-chip ice-cream (preferably at the same time). My favorite activity in the summer is to take naps in the sun, outside, mid-afternoon. I summited South Sister last year and my goal for this summer is Three-Fingered Jack in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. One of my newly discovered fascinations is garden gnomes; I'm in the process of becoming a part of the Garden Gnome Liberation Front. Music is the key to life and my top four bands of the moment are Coldplay, The Foals, Imogen Heap, and The Killers. I love swimming, laughing and relaxing. My favorite movie to watch on a Friday afternoon is The Matrix. I will be working at a camp this summer, so the best way to reach me is snail mail… but, I am on Facebook and have an e-mail address- cicada3@gmail.com and will try to get online when weather permits (high elevation weather/fire season=not so good reception). I hope you have an awesome summer and if you have any questions go ahead and contact me. Later gators!
	Jessica Martinez Hey! My name is Jessica Martinez ("Martini", mama Martinez, mini Martinez, whatever you prefer) I am from Albuquerque, New Mexico, I will be living in Missouri Suite next year, in P.E.O. Hall. My freshman year I was involved in Rotaract, International Friendship Circle, LEO and Phi Beta Lambda. LEO, which I am currently still involved in, is the Leadership, Experiences, Opportunity program here at Cottey. Phi Beta Lambda is a business organization, which I am currently president of. This summer I will be attending the Phi Beta Lambda's national competition in Anaheim, CA, with my Patricia (who is also in Phi Beta Lambda and an RA in P.E.O.) and I am going to show her California for the first time. My hobbies consist of rock climbing, camping, taking family trips, and learning new things every day. Since being at Cottey I have grown so much as a woman and have realized new things that the world has to offer. I've also taken advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that the Cottey Campus has to offer and hope you will too. One of my favorite things is how much of a 'family' you become here and I am really excited to share my last year with all of you! Can't wait to meet you!
	Patricia Martinez My name is Patricia Martinez, I am from Texas and I will be living on the third floor in Yellowstone suite in P.E.O. Hall. My first year at Cottey was AWESOME. I come from a small town so going to school in another state was not easy. My family is very important to me and they are the inspiration to my future. It was hard not seeing them everyday, but phone calls and e-mails helped. I love to read, I find it very relaxing, I also have a large collection of movies that I love to watch with all my friends during my free time. My suite has become my second family as well as the friends I have made here at Cottey. I loved almost every moment in it. Except for the longs list of homework. I am very active on campus, I was the freshman class vice president and have also participated in LEO, PBL, and CDC. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. My e-mail is paty_92789@hotmail.com. I have met very amazing people from all over the United States and the World. I have made long lasting friendships and I hope that you do as well.

Suite Chairs

Your suite chair is a member of your suite, usually a second-year student, who has been elected by your suite to volunteer to coordinate activities and serve as a communication link between the campus community and the suite. She conducts suite meetings, shares information with the suite, and works with suitemates to delegate and coordinates suite responsibilities.
