Jessica Derenburger

Division 9
Assistant to the Head of Chemistry, Senior Administrative Coordinator, Chemistry

Started at CMU in 2019

My role involves a nice variety of responsibilities such as coordinating department social, recruitment and academic events, maintaining the organization systems for the offices, assisting the department head on projects as requested, as well as pcard and guest reimbursement financial responsibilities.

During my term I’d like to advocate for shared resources and knowledge between staff members working in similar situations/roles to allow for best practices to find their way from department to department. Additionally, to explore ways for the university to be more environmentally friendly and facilitate the reuse of resources. And, of course, to bring the concerns and ideas of staff members to the forefront to help to make CMU an even better place to work.
