    Dr. Stacey Dixon comes to us from National Louis University in Chicago where she was the Director of Student Veteran Support Services for 5 years.  She served as a Meteorologist and Oceanographer in the U. S. Marine Corps for 21 years.  After military retirement, Dr. Dixon worked as a Financial Advisor/Stockbroker with an international brokerage firm in Palm Springs, Ca.  She later relocated to Chicago where she taught JROTC and Leadership Development courses for a charter school.  Dr. Dixon received her BS in Mathematics/Science from Thomas Edison College, her MBA from National Louis University in San Diego, and her Doctorate from Argosy University in Chicago.  She has a daughter and son, and four grandchildren.

    I am excited to be a part of OWL Nation, KSU, and mostly the Military and Veteran Service Team.  And I look forward to developing a program that highlights all servicemembers, veterans, and families’ contributions to this country.  So, strap on your packs, and let’s have some fun!
