Magers Hall

Magers Hall isn’t just a place to live; it is a place where responsible leaders are shaped. The hall
currently features a literary theme with houses named after recognizable tales. Magers Hall
provides students with a relaxed atmosphere that promotes individuality and “small group”
identity, where students can write their own stories. It is described by its residents as a generally
quiet, comfortable, and “homey” atmosphere.

In the shared bedroom suites, residents share their living and sleeping space, as pictured here.

Jayme Baumann

Hiya, my name is Jayme and my pronouns are she/her. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley area of South Texas, then moved to Wisconsin when I was 17 where my family is from, but I will always have a soft spot in my heart for Texas, especially the RGV area. I attended UW-Oshkosh and graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor's degree after studying Political Science and International Studies, with an emphasis in Sustainable Development and a minor in Law & Policy. For three years, I was a Resident Advisor in different specialty communities, including UW-Oshkosh's gender-inclusive space, a freshman-only community, and a girls-only floor. During that time I also served as the LGBTQ+ Advocacy Senator in student government and participated in the Model United Nations Team. Here at Northern, I'm planning on starting my trek toward a Masters of Public Administration in the winter.

During my free time, I like to go walking though I'm forever a beginner hiker. Sometimes I read, mostly horror or fantasy stories, but lately I watch a lot more movies than books I read. There's a special place in my heart for cheesy horror, but I also like comedies, dramas, and unique movies like Fantastic Planet! If you ever want to share about a book or movie, stop by during my office hours and chat with me, trust I'd love to hear about it. Same goes if you've been on any interesting hikes around the Peninsula!

Looking forward to meeting everyone (or as many of you as I can) this year! Come swing by my office hours to say hi, I'll be there.
