The fall 2012 semester is underway at the Gatton Academy. The familiar sounds of ping-pong, doors slamming, and students typing away on their laptops resonate through Schneider Hall. As students go about their daily routines, staff members are busy at work. This year three new staff members joined (or rejoined) the Gatton family and today we spotlight Mrs. Mallory Melton and Ms. Erin Mooney.

Mrs. Mallory Melton is the new Student Services Coordinator at the Gatton Academy. Her position includes study skill and time management curriculum, monitoring study hours, coordinating the tutoring schedule and assisting with alumni relations. Mallory seeks to help students make the best of their educational experiences by supporting their academic needs.
Though Mallory’s job keeps her extremely busy, Mallory enjoys traveling to visit family and attempting new arts-and-crafts projects. And as always, Mallory would like to remind students to go on numerous college visits and meet with college admission representatives as they visit the Gatton Academy.

Ms. Erin Mooney is the new Residential Counselor (RC) for the female third floor wing, affectionately called “The Catsle” (no cats actually reside on wing). A native of Paducah, Erin completed her undergraduate studies at Western Kentucky University and her masters at the University of Southern Illinois.
“I am excited about the opportunity to work with the students and learn from them” said Mooney. In her free time, Erin enjoys spending quality time with her dogs and watching movies. She is excited about all the possibilities for the upcoming year.

Best wishes and a warm (and belated) welcome to both Mallory and Erin! We look forward to working with both of you. Welcome to the Academy family!
