Two professional staff seats were won by Nicole Brown, Career Services, and Elisa Bryant, Foundation. Both are from Joplin. Five classified staff seats were also won by the following employees:

• Dianna Baker, Distance Learning, Neosho

• Melanie Epperson, Recreational Services, Webb City

• Patty Hart, Nursing Department, Seneca

• Shavonne McCoy, Project Stay, Joplin

The new senators will serve three year terms beginning in July 2013.
