PTC welcomes new registrar, Darla Calverley

PTC recently welcomed Darla Calverley to the Student Affairs Office. Calverley is PTC's new registrar, having filled the vacancy left by Robert Baker when Baker retired.

"I absolutely love the campus and PTC community. The whole family here – from the students to faculty and staff – has been so welcoming and helpful during my transition," Calverley says. "I feel so fortunate and blessed to work under the leadership and direction of Nancy Mach and with the whole Student Affairs group. I always said I can work with students anywhere, but to be given the opportunity to share my experience, knowledge and appreciation for students pursuing their education in a career that I have endured for years is the ultimate. I am living the dream!" Calverley adds.

Calverley holds an M.A. in organizational management and a B.A. in communication and organizational management, both from Concordia University and comes to PTC with nearly 20 years of experience working in higher education and student records within MnSCU. Most recently, Calverley served as Assistant Registrar at St. Cloud State University, and prior to that, Calverley served as Student Registration Coordinator at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College.

"We are so lucky to have Darla," says Nancy Mach, Dean of Student Affairs. "She has been such an asset to us already, and our department will continue to grow with the skill-set she brings," Mach adds.
