Hello, My name in Mike Baumer.  I have been a full time Academic Advisor at WSU since 1990!  I am a proud graduate of Wright State University, first in 1982 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Geography and in 1985 with a Master of Science Degree in Social and Applied Economics!  I originally came to Wright State in 1977 with the intention of transferring to another university.  I have never left!  I ran Cross Country four years at WSU, competing in the NCAA II Cross Country Championships three times.  At age 24, I was selected to restart the Cross Country program after it was dropped for financial reasons at the conclusion of my senior year.  That same year, I started the women’s Cross Country team!  I coached through 1999.

Welcome to Wright State!  My name is Pam Beatty, and I am excited to be one of the newest advisors in University College.  I’m a former Buckeye, having received both of my degrees from Ohio State:  a B.A. in Social Sciences and an M.A. in Student Personnel Work in Higher Education. We may have had a competitive football team at OSU, but we didn’t have the option of using tunnels to get to class during bad weather!  I’m looking forward to working with you.
