The newest member of the financial services staff at Central Methodist University comes in with plenty of experience in the higher education realm. Janice Perkins began her new job as the documentation coordinator on July 6, following 20 years of employment at the University of Missouri.
After receiving her degree in consumer affairs from the university, Perkins was employed by MU from 1999 until this year, serving in roles such as business support specialist, executive assistant, and advancement associate.
In her new role, Perkins will be responsible for the collection of documents necessary for securing students’ financial aid. She says she is excited to be “helping families” as their children enter college at CMU.
A mother of three adult children whose youngest is also preparing to go to college, Perkins lives with her husband in southern Howard County. They enjoy going on walks outside with their dogs, she said.
