Kathy Anderson
Administrative Secretary

Hello, my name is Kathy Anderson, and I'm the Administrative Secretary for STEM@SVSU and MiSTEM Region 10. This coming January will be my 21st year at Saginaw Valley State University. In my role, I support STEM@SVSU and coordinate many events for students and teachers to attend. Chief Science Officers, Hour of Code, STEMapalooza, STEM Teacher Dinner, Teen Science Café just to name a few and this year we are hosting STEMFest, which is a K-12 event. During the summer, we host camps for students from kindergarten - 8th grade. In my role for MiSTEM Region 10, I maintain a contact database for K-12 teachers, purchase supplies for STEM Star teachers as well as the usual office related duties for both departments. My position on campus is funded by five Cost Centers and I have to maintain a calendar to account for the work that I complete so they can be accurately charged. In Workday, I have to maintain it to four one hundredths of a percent which can be challenging at times. My husband and I have 3 children and 4 grandchildren ages 2 - 23. We own 40 acres, and farm 36 acres of beans and corn. Some of the corn we use to heat the shed in the winter. We have a German shepherd named Belle, and raise chickens for their eggs. My husband and I used to have a portable welding and fabricating business, so when he was working out of town I used to cut out and weld chutes and shanks that were used to put in fiberoptics next to railroad tracks and bridges. I enjoy watching the Detroit Lions and Tigers and spending time with friends.
