About Me
I have enjoyed working at FSU Panama City since 2009. I believe I have found my life’s passion in the Admissions Office assisting transfer students returning to earn their BA or BS degree. It’s not easy for a single mom, a veteran or a retired citizen to return to school, to know who to talk to that will help get the process started, how to start or complete the application, what to collect/submit, the right major; and where to enter their FL residency information for in-state tuition….these are the students and their questions that I get to communicate with daily and I enjoy every minute of it. If I can’t answer their questions, I know who can. I find it very satisfying to assist these students and know when I leave work each day that I’ve helped at least one more student in reaching their goal of graduating from FSU. I call it my gratifying work that supports a life changing experience for anyone who seeks it.
Previously, I was an internal accountant for over 25 years for three different organizations and opened/operated family businesses over the years as well. Happily married to my husband Bobby Buckland; we have a very talented son with a BA in Music, a beautiful daughter-n-law with an MS in Occupational Therapy. Three adorable and smart grandchildren, all very young grands of course ?. I’m incredibly blessed in family, life, friendships and at work.
Please let me know if I may ever be of assistance to you.
Sincerely,
Glenda Buckland
