    Jo Marie is the Undergraduate Advising Coordinator and office manager for the Political Science Department.  She also teaches the I/L course, POLS 1111, for political science freshmen students.  She has been at the Political Science Department since the fall of 1992, and at the University of Wyoming since 1988.  Prior to joining the Political Science Department, she gained UW experience at Student Financial Aid, the Graduate School and Student Educational Opportunity.  A graduate of UW, Jo Marie earned her master of public administration and an undergraduate degree in business management with a minor in sociology. 

    Both natives of Laramie, Jo Marie and her husband James have three children.  Their family also consists of three border collies, cats, and a Tennessee Walker horse.  They love to spend time outdoors at their home outside of Laramie and spend as much time as possible boating and camping around Wyoming.  Jo Marie is active in dog training, especially dog agility, and helps her daughter with her dog training business.

   Jamie joined the Political Science Department in the summer of 2006 serving as the Graduate Coordinator for the MPA and MA programs and is the face you'll see when entering our offices. Prior to joining the department, she gained UW experience in the College of Agriculture, Student Publications and the McNair Scholars Program. Jamie earned her undergraduate degree in Political Science and Environmental & Natural Resources and a Master of Public Administration here at UW and enjoys building on that education while serving on community boards.

   Originally from Newcastle, Jamie and her husband Brian are proud to claim Laramie as home after living here for 15 years. They enjoy exploring and playing outdoors in the region year round and share their adventures with a long awaited, precocious and perfect one year old named Avery.

All prospective and current students are welcome to request local tips and tours to learn why people love it here and why you'll be proud to call it home!
