Vice President – Donna Minkley
My name is Donna Minkley and I live in a small former vacation village surrounding a lake in rolling southeast Wisconsin. I’ve been married for 25 years to my best friend Craig. We have four kids 3 girls and 1 boy (21, 18, 16, &14). I started college at 35 and finished in five years with a bachelor’s degree in Geography.
Currently I work for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources this is within my degree field, although, right now I’m still “gaining experience” in the customer service bureau. The experiences I had in college working with non-trads and leading the university non-trad group to several ANTSHE conferences lead me to my affiliation with ANTSHE.
My dream career would be to do anything professional with students. I would love to be an advisor, student ac-tivities professional, or a program assistant. So, I volun-teer with ANTSHE because its fun and it keeps me con-nected to the college community and gives me a chance to give back.
If you live in the Midwest and want to network with me in regards to ANTSHE or about how you can make a differ-ence at your institution don’t hesitate to contact me via email through the list serve or at www.antshe.org. I’ll be glad to dish out information and free advice.

Communications Officer – Marie Basler
My name is Marie Basler and I am the Coordinator of Non-Traditional Student Services at Oklahoma State University. I have worked with non-traditional students professionally for nearly 30 years. I have been involved with ANTSHE for the last 10 years as a member and most recently as the Conference Officer. I am looking forward to this year serving as Communications Officer and I hope that all of you will send me your comments and suggestions on how ANTSHE can best communi-cate with you as members.
I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from Southeast Missouri State University, where I also received my BA in Psychology many years ago. I love to cook and bake bread. I live with my two shelties – Al and Missy. My goal in life is to retire before I am too old to enjoy the time. Al and I are studying for him to be a therapy dog so we can fill all that free time visiting schools, hospitals and nursing homes.
If you are ever in the area, let me know and I will be happy to show you around our campus. Like Donna, I am always available to speak with any of you should you want or need information about ANTSHE, non-traditional students or working with your student organization.
My name is Karen Mitchell, Kay to most of everyone. I am the secretary for ANTSHE. I am in the Master’s program for Educational Psychology at Oklahoma State University. I also have an 8 year old little girl. I love to write stories and I even have published some poems.
Recently I co-presented a workshop at the conference on "Surviving as a Single Parent" discovered that being a single parent by choice brought on new sets of challenges when facing school, work and family life that were uniquely mine but not uncommon to other single parents and that brought to me an inspiration to help other single parents and their everyday challenges.
Since becoming a non-traditional student and getting involved with ANTSHE, I have discovered an area that I think needs to be addressed within the organization and I am working on developing a survey about non-trads, the difficulties and challenges we face on a daily basis and how ANTSHE can help support its students and members. I would love to hear your thoughts on this as members. If you have comments or suggestions, please contact me at [email protected]. Kay
