Spotlight Feature
Vicki Anderson and Darci Ward
Registration and Records
This issue’s spotlight is on Vicki Anderson and Darci Ward, both of whom serve the registration needs for our customized instruction courses.
How long have you worked for the university and in what capacity?
Vicki has worked at UW-Stout for 15 years. She's been a part of the Graduate School, Registration and Records, and UW-Stout Online. Darci will celebrate 10 years in September, all in the Registration and Records office for Stout Online.
What is your current role?
Both Darci and Vicki work with students who are taking courses from a distance, as they work towards an online degree, certificate, or professional development. Vicki also emails students with information on setting up their student accounts.
What do you like most about working with the online courses?
Darci enjoys the variety in her job. She gets to do a little bit of everything. Vicki likes the fact that we have so much to offer people who can only participate in online programs, and that we are meeting a need for a lot of people across the U.S. and abroad.
What place in the U.S. would you most like to visit and why?
Both Vicki and Darci would love to see Alaska, to experience, firsthand, its beauty and remoteness, and, for Vicki, to also visit friends who live there.
Vicki, what is one of your favorite quotes?
“A lie doesn’t become truth, wrong doesn’t become right, and evil doesn’t become good just because it’s accepted by a majority.” — Rick Warren
Darci, if you could give the world one piece of advice, what would it be?
Don’t sweat the small stuff.
