Roxanne has been with Indiana State University for 27 years, with the last four years spent in the Office of Information Technology. Roxanne has been in a relationship with a partner for over 10 years and has one son, Chris, who was recently married in October, welcoming a daughter-in-law, Sierra, into the family.
In free time, Roxanne enjoys cheering on the Chicago Cubs as a lifelong, dedicated fan, as well as playing softball, golfing, and unwinding with favorite shows such as Gilmore Girls, Friends, and Grey’s Anatomy.
Being part of Staff Council is something Roxanne truly enjoys, as it provides the opportunity to connect with fellow Sycamores, encourage engagement, and contribute to making ISU an even better place to work. Roxanne brings energy, ideas, and a sense of fun to the group, including advocating for creative ideas—such as Friday afternoon margaritas—as a way to celebrate the end of the workweek.
Roxanne is grateful to represent such an outstanding group of staff and to be part of a campus community that reflects strong Sycamore pride, support, and connection.

Michelle Lewis has been a dedicated member of the ISU community for 25 years and currently works in the HMSU department. She is a proud mother to a 13-year-old daughter and a loving “Gigi” to five grandchildren who bring joy to her life. Michelle has a big heart for service and has volunteered as the Craft Tent Captain for the Summer Special Olympics for nearly 12 years, a role she truly enjoys. In her spare time, she loves crafting with her grandchildren. A fun fact many people may not know about her is that she once rode an elephant at a zoo in Alabama. Michelle enjoys classic country music, especially George Jones and Loretta Lynn, which hold special memories of her father, as well as watching crime TV shows like NCIS, Criminal Intent, and Criminal Minds. As a member of Staff Council, Michelle values planning meaningful activities that engage staff and show appreciation for their hard work. She hopes to see Staff Council offer more trips and group outings, such as sightseeing excursions, matinees, and outdoor events, and looks forward to helping plan activities that bring staff together and reflect their interests and needs.

Teresa serves as the Employer Relations Coordinator, where she focuses on building strong partnerships with companies to expand internship and post-graduation opportunities for students. Outside of work, she loves traveling—especially to national parks and far‑off destinations—and enjoys camping, firmly believing that a good sense of humor is just as essential as any piece of gear. At home, Teresa relaxes by working on jigsaw puzzles and spending time with her three tuxedo cats, Hank, Rainie, and Gus, who keep life entertaining. Being part of Staff Council allows her to connect with colleagues across campus, contribute to a positive workplace culture, and have a voice in initiatives that support staff. She encourages others to get involved as a way to build relationships, share ideas, and help make campus an even better place to work.

Despite the weather, we had a great time at the canvas painting event honoring Rex. Now he knows why we all keep our day jobs, as none of us claim to be artists. But it was a sincere tribute to a great guy.
