Roxanne R. Styskal
The Serenity Prayer
I have been at Nebraska Wesleyan for 34 years. Before coming to ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ I worked at a nursing home for 12 years, then for 2 years at Ernie's in Ceresco. My husbands name is Tom, we have a son Chris. We enjoy our German Shorthair Trav, taking drives in the country on low maintenance roads. We use to rescue orphaned baby squirrels. They are such fun, they keep you entertained. I enjoy taking pictures of old barns, houses, vehicles & creeks. I also enjoy writing poems, decorating my house for holidays, dressing up for Halloween & crafts. I like to make others happy by sharing my pictures, poems or a hug. Spending time with family and friends makes me happy. Fall is my favorite time of year, the colors are so beautiful.
I have a certificate in Forensic Science that I received from ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ in 2003. I have taken English I and two poetry classes. I have attended trainings on Clery, RCRA, EPA, recycling, mold awareness, asbestos, MSDS, bloodborne pathogens, critical incident & planning, fire & water damage, ergonomics and safety. I have also attended workshops on being a woman in a supervisor role and many trainings on proper cleaning.
I try to help out with charities and fundraisers within our Wesleyan community as much as possible. I use to support the Japanese nursing program by hosting a student and two years the chaperones. I have lead a team for the Relay for Life here on campus with my co-workers.
I received the CORE award at ¶¶ÒõÊÓƵ and two Golden Service Awards. I was a volunteer EMT/ firefighter for 20 years in Ceresco where I held the postions of Secretary, Training Officer and Rescue Chief. One at a time not all at once.
