Jennifer Koch with her three sons. L to R Landon Koch, Nicholas Koch, Jennifer Koch and Matthew Koch. My name is Jennifer Koch. I am an Administrative Support Assistant I for BPSoG. I have three sons, who mean the world to me. Their names are Landon, Matthew, and Nicholas. They are my heart and soul; I enjoy hanging out and spending my free time with them. I like to enjoy the small happy things in life because that’s what it’s all about. I work in the main office, so you are sure to see my welcoming face. I have been in BPSoG for a little over a year and a half, and I have learned so much. I love the atmosphere here and how closeknit everyone is. This is truly a special place to be. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for BPSoG. I hope this letter finds you well. Life is good, but hectic, for me, as I’m busy just trying to keep up with two young kiddos (8 and 5) and manage all the changes here at work. Several months ago, OSU administration announced that there would be a restructuring for all OSU advisors, and just last week I learned that this would be my final semester advising most of the students in the BPSoG (and those from Physics). After 11 years serving Geology, Chemistry, Physics, and Plant Biology, I will be moving to the Chemistry Department and advising Chemistry and Integrative Biology majors. I am so grateful for the students, faculty, staff, and alumni who have helped make me into the professional I am today. I am so glad to have so many friends from the Boone Pickens School of Geology. I will miss you all and wish you all the best. Sandy Earls (Administrative Associate) – Hi all! Just an update. I just officially (Feb 2024) been with the Boone Pickens School of Geology and OSU for 25 years. I have actually started here in August 1996 when we moved to Stillwater. Due to a short break in service (just over 2 months) my official clock restarted with the University when I started back up. Pete and I still live on 4.5 acres just NE of Stillwater and it is so nice and quiet there. Hope you will stop by and say hi whenever you are in town.
