Anna Lind Thomas — Residence Community Coordinator for North Campus
E–mail althomas@csuchico.edu, Phone 530–898–5827
Well Hello! My name is Anna Lind Thomas, and I am the Resident Community Coordinator at North Campus. I'm a proud Nebraskan, born and raised in Omaha until I left home for the University of Nebraska, Lincoln. I was an RA for two years at a fabulous and all–female resident hall, attended several Husker games, and still managed to also receive my undergraduate degree in advertising with an emphasis in English. From there, I interned briefly at a small ad agency and then worked full time as an advertising consultant at a large newspaper. After about three years of making a lot of money for someone else, I decided I desperately missed working with students, and realized my true happiness came from investing in people. So here I am embarking on my fourth year working for CSU, Chico! Every year is a new and exciting challenge, and I expect no less this time around. My office is in Esken Hall, and I love visitors. Stop by anytime!

Hi! My name is Lyndon Huling, and I am the Assistant Residence Community Coordinator for North Campus Halls. I grew up in Vallejo, California, and did my Undergrad work in Psychology; Human Development; and Education at University of California, Davis. From there I ventured an hour away to Stockton, California to obtain my Masters of Arts in Education Administration and Leadership with an emphasis in Student Affairs (whew!) I am a California guy through and through, and love everything the state has to offer. I was an RA for two years at UC Davis, and during my final year as an undergraduate I supervised a large community of first year students. I continued working in Housing as a Residence Director at University of the Pacific, where I also had the chance to work with several Living-Learning communities, in Multicultural Affairs, and with different community outreach programs. I enjoy working with student leaders, and utilizing my psychology background to help support students with their endeavors in higher education. I am thrilled to be in Chico, and am excited for many new challenges and experiences, and maybe even a bit of fun. Give me a call or an email or swing by my office and say hi!

Lee McFee — Assistant Residence Community Coordinator for Lassen & Shasta Halls
E–mail lmcfee@csuchico.edu, Phone 530–898–5174
Hello! My name is Lee McFee and I am the Assistant Residence Community Coordinator (ARCC) for Shasta & Lassen Halls. I spent the past two years at Azusa Pacific University (APU) working to obtain my Master’s Degree in Education for College Student Affairs. While there, I worked as the director of the largest service-learning program at APU connecting college students with local elementary school students in teaching them about team building and goal setting. I also worked for California Baptist University (CBU) as the Graduate Assistant for Campus Life. Campus Life is responsible for the Orientation programming and the overall first year experience for incoming students. I was able to coordinate the Transfer Orientation program with 14 student Orientation Leaders and had a wonderful time connecting the new students to the CBU community. Before going to APU, I received my Bachelors Degree in Student Ministries at Geneva College in Pittsburgh, PA with the hopes of working with students in developing the leadership skills and abilities each student uniquely possesses. While there, I had the wonderful privilege of working as a resident assistant in one of the residence halls. I was able to be a part of an amazing team that established a wonderful and close-knit community through all sorts of programs and activities. After that experience, I knew that I wanted to work with college students through the field of student development. I grew up in Washington State with my twin sister loving the outdoors and all of the fun that it entails. I am a social butterfly and am extremely excited in getting to know as many students as I possibly can. I like long walks on the beach, barbecues and laughing at the humor in life. I look forward to coming alongside you all in this exciting chapter in your lives.
