Beth Thorsen is a proud MSU Alumni with a BS in Psychology and currently can be found in the SUB tending to the event coordination needs for all the departments on campus.  Stop by or call and say hi!  She also has a MS in Sport and Exercise Psychology from Oregon State University.  As much as she loved Oregon, being close to the coast, the university, and all it has to offer, Bozeman’s mountains called her back.  Beth has experience working in everything from the non-profit sector to owning her own small business for over 10 years.  She stays busy chasing after her three boys whom she loves watching play hockey, football and lacrosse.   If she’s not watching a kid play sports, you can find her snowboarding, rafting, fishing, gardening, exploring hot springs in the area, seeing live music and traveling.
