Deborah Albin

MSU students are the problem solvers and leaders of tomorrow, and it is Deb Albin’s privilege to help prepare them for these roles. Having previously spent over a decade working as an educator for the MSU Extension Service, being a native Montanan, a first-generation college student, and a proud two-time alum of MSU (Sociology ’09, Public Relations ’16), Deb knows first-hand the importance of investing time and resources in Montanans and supporting students from communities throughout the state.

In her role overseeing the Montana’s Own Scholars, 1893 Scholars, and Return-to-Learn Scholars programs, Deb identifies promising MSU upperclassmen, returning students, and adult learners and works with them to shape their life and career goals and complete their undergraduate studies feeling strong and confident. Utilizing one-on-one meetings, group workshops, social and networking events, and personalized action plans, scholars in these programs augment their time at MSU examining their personal interests, strengths, and skills. Combined with their academic knowledge, these scholars are fully prepared to embark on lives and careers of meaning and purpose.

Jennifer joined AYCSS in 2019 and Return-to-Learn in 2021.  Working with returning students is a fantastic opportunity and it is always exciting to learn someone’s story and find out their goals as they work to complete their degree. She enjoys helping students navigate campus resources, build a plan for a successful school/life combination, and develop the college experience they desire. With a B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Maine, Orono and a M.A. in Museum Studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program, Jennifer’s previous work experience is in museum education and collections. She moved to Bozeman with her family to enjoy the beautiful outdoor lifestyle.  In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, skiing, horseback riding, and exploring.
