Shanon NowellStaff

I’ve been at Gustavus since 2006, working collaboratively with the Provost and Deans in the leadership and administration of academic areas of the College. Although I like nearly all aspects of my job, I most enjoy working on faculty searches and coordinating the third year review and tenure processes; no coincidence, this is also some of the most important work I do.

Off campus, I have proudly served on the Saint Peter City Council since 2019 and am currently serving my second term as Mayor. I am passionate about our amazing small city and am proud that city/college relations are strong.

Of course, my favorite role is as mom. We are a proud geeky family who love board games, science fiction, and fantasy. We also bond around the love of our four-legged family members--three wild and wonderful cats (Poptart, Willow, and BunBun).
