Debra Sperano: Associate Registrar

Debra Sperano: Associate Registrar

  Former Oneonta Graduate Debra Sperano started working as a Residence Director in the dorms at SUNY Oneonta in 1996.  She did not expect to have this job as her major was in education and got her masters from Oneonta.  She was offered the position as a way to pay off her loans, so she thought it would be a great place to start.  After seeing how much she liked working with the students, she decided to stay and was hired as the Associate Registrar and has now been working at Netzer for 20 years. 
Her day to day responsibilities include working with both students and faculty.  She mostly works with students in the registrar’s office when they have any paper work to hand in or want to add or drop classes.  Her busiest time of each semester and is when students must start registering for classes.  As associate registrar she has to make sure that all professors give in their course schedules that way students are able to register for the classes they need.  Sperano helps many of the students with what classes to register for and if there is any trouble registering for students, Sperano is always the first call to help get the problem solved. 
Not only does she help with registering, she also works with students who are getting ready to graduate.  She makes sure all students have their diploma applications in and have enough credits to graduate.
Debra Sperano loves the interaction and helping every student at Oneonta.  She hopes to continue helping for many more years.
