Member CornerAngela Thiel Administrative Secretary/Office Coordinator Admissions Office  Q: What’s your current role at SVSU, and how long have you been here? A: My current role is Office Coordinator/Administrative Secretary for the Office of Admissions. I have been with SVSU since March of 2023 where I started as an Administrative Secretary for 3 federally funded grant programs. I’ve been in my current role in Admissions since July 2025. Q: What’s something people might not know about the work you do? A: I supervise 6 student employees. Knowing that the work they do in our office can contribute to a small part of their college experience is rewarding. I appreciate them more than they know! Q: What do you enjoy most about being part of the SVSU community or the union? A: I feel like the union here is extremely supportive of its members. And if I have a question or concern, I get a quick and informative response. Everyone I’ve spoken to has been so helpful! Q: Do you have any hobbies, interests, or fun facts you’d like to share about yourself? A: I became a first-time grandma this past December and it’s been so much fun! I'm also a part time fitness instructor, teaching a spin class is my favorite. I’ve run 2 half marathons and 1 full marathon. I will be running my third half marathon this October in Detroit. Q: Is there a piece of advice or a quote that has inspired you in your career or life? A: I’ve always believed that “The good you put out into the world always has a way of coming back to you”. And I try to find the positive side of every situation. |
