Jean Munson, administrative coordinator I in the Department of Nutrition and Hospitality Management, has been selected as Staff Council’s Staff Member of the Month for April. To help us get to know her better, Munson answered a few questions for Inside Ole Miss.

IOM: How long have you worked at Ole Miss? 

Munson: 5 years

IOM: What is your hometown? 

Munson: North Tonawanda, New York. 

IOM: What is your favorite Ole Miss memory?

Munson: I think my favorite Ole Miss memory is graduation day.  I truly look forward to that day each year.  It is such an honor to be part of and share in that awesome milestone with our students.  

IOM: What do you enjoy most about your position or the department in which you work? 

Munson: I really enjoy being around the students, working with them, and watching them grow – they also keep me young!

IOM: What do you like to do when you are not at work? 

Munson: I love spending lots of time with my daughter and watching her cheer for her high school teams, playing with my dogs and being outside in my garden.

IOM: What is one thing on your bucket list? 

Munson: To return to Europe and enjoy a fabulous vacation.

IOM: What is your favorite movie?

Munson: The Sound of Music

IOM: What is a fun fact about you?

Munson: I love flamingos.  If I thought for one moment that my Homeowners Association would allow it, I would have a bunch of them in my yard, fake of course.  What would be more fun than that?
