Meet the New Training Coordinator

OGSLP is happy to announce the hiring of a new training coordinator. Andrea Stone comes to OGSLP from the University of Central Oklahoma (UCO) where she served as the Technology Trainer and an Adjunct Professor of Communication. Before working at UCO, Andrea taught public speaking and interpersonal communication at Ball State University and the University of Richmond and served in the Worldwide Education Department of Tivoli Systems, a division of IBM.

Andrea earned her Master's degree in Organizational and Professional Communication Development at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. This unique Master’s program is designed to teach students how to be trainers and consultants in various organizations.

Andrea has developed training workshops in Conflict Management, Sexual Harassment, Interpersonal and Group Communication Issues, Public Speaking Skills, and more. She also has developed on-line and classroom training for many software products.

Her husband, Jason, is the director of the nationally ranked UCO debate team. They have two young children, Ian and Sarah. Her personal interests include crocheting, reading, keeping up with current events, and spending time with family and friends.

Andrea has already begun developing training for OGSLP staff and will continue to work to expand our training offerings. Eventually, she hopes to deploy on-line training and use other technologies to offer more on-demand training. She will also be developing additional face-to-face training sessions in cooperation with the experts at OGSLP. Look for future announcements of training opportunities in this newsletter!
