My name is Mary Kamensky and I'm the administrative assistant at the Graduate School. I've been at the university for more than 20 years, and I have been involved with graduate programs the entire time. I really enjoy my job at the Graduate School because it gives me the opportunity to interact with graduate students from all disciplines. I moved to Missoula from the Midwest over 30 years ago to raise my family. Like other Missoulians, I consider myself extremely fortunate to live in this community. Please contact me if you have any questions about financial support, any of our graduate programs, or any information about Missoula. My phone number is 406.243.4598

I am currently an undergraduate student at UM majoring in Journalism, and I have a minor in Native American Studies.

 I have lived in Montana my entire life. I graduated from Columbia Falls High School and attended college at Montana Tech in Butte. I enjoy living in Montana because my family is close and I enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting and softball.

After working for the United States Forest Service for nine years, I started work for The University of Montana Business Services in 2003. In 2005, I started working at the Graduate School. I am very happy to use my background in technology to work on projects at the Graduate School dealing with automation, recruiting and diversity.

My name is Isa Atkinson, and I am the Graduation Coordinator for the Graduate School.  I came to work at the University of Montana in August of 2008, after relocating to Missoula from the Oregon Coast, where I worked as an Alcohol and Drug Counselor  and  an early recovery group facilitator.  

The best part of my job here at the U is working with the students at the graduation stage of their time here at the University, and seeing the relief on their faces when they have  successfully completed  their master's or doctoral degrees, and the pride that they have in themselves for a job well done. 

Please feel free to contact me anytime with questions, or concerns.  I can be reached at 406.243.2572.
