Joined OU in 1986
Joined the Dept of English in 2000
BA in English, 1994, University of Oklahoma

I've worked in a variety of jobs in several different parts of the country. I've been everything from a dancer in Colorado to an accounting instructor for a telephone company in California. I originally hail from St. Louis, Missouri but claim Norman, Oklahoma as my "home, sweet home" now. I absolutely love working at OU, helping students find their way through the educational process. I've taken many of the English courses myself so can readily identify with the problems and concerns students often face. In addition to advising students, I'm busy developing a writing track booklet and a career guide for English majors.

B.S. in Interior Design, University of Oklahoma

I coordinate all scheduling and personnel for first year composition courses as well as assisting the first year composition director and assistants. I also work closely with graduate students in helping them plan their programs in order to complete their degree and am the secretary for the graduate liaison. I serve as the back-up person for both the staff assistant and senior clerk-receptionist. My family has been in Norman for generations and I am carrying on the tradition with my teenage son and my husband.

Joined the OU team in 2006

I married Justin Barber on July 1 of this year. I am a big Sooner fan but unfortunately he is an OSU fan, so that makes for some very interesting football watching at our home in Blanchard. My family and I will change his mind and bring him over to our side.

I haven't been with the university very long, but I enjoy my job in the English Department working with the faculty and staff. I enjoy shopping and hanging out with my friends.

"Magic Man"..."Purveyor of All Updates Holy"..."Silicon Saint"...
regardless of whatever mystic title used to describe this dark and
mysterious stranger, he's the one people depend on when problems arise, sliding forth from the shadows to aid the meek and... oh come on, enough with this pathetic drivel. He's a hideous twit and we all know it.

Jack "Hideous Twit" Day serves as the Laboratory Manager for the
English Department. Born in Maryland, he considers himself a Southern Californian (where he grew up), and ardently argues for the
introduction of In & Out Burger joints, better amusement parks, and a "real" beach (with mondo surf, dudes!) down the west side of Norman. When he's not upgrading computers, throttling viruses handily, or managing the computer labs, he enjoys celebrating the 1980s (be it music, cartoons, movies... whatever), playing with his computer/game systems, hanging out with friends, finishing up his M.A. in English, and generally being a smart aleck.
