Snyder was born and raised in the Berrien Springs area, having been born at the old Berrien General Hospital and growing up on a 67-acre fruit farm on Hinchman Road in Oronoko Township. She works at Berrien RESA where she is the student talent consultant. Snyder said she wears two hats at Berrien RESA, serving as both the student activities coordinator and the Math & Science Center consultant. “One part of my role involves coordinating student events across Berrien County, including the Cloverleaf Spelling Contest, the Science Olympiad, and Community Student Art Exhibitions, among other events,” she said. “My primary responsibility, however, is serving as the program coordinator for the Berrien RESA Math & Science Center, located on the campus of Andrews University,” she added. The Math & Science Center is a half-day STEM program serving high school students from Berrien and Cass counties. Students spend half of their school day taking classes taught by Andrews University instructors in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related courses. Snyder received her bachelor’s degree from Andrews University in public relations and then her master’s degree in public administration from Western Michigan University. <<< Read the full stoory at the Wilcox Newspapers <a href="https://wilcoxnewspapers.com/new-trustee-tonya-snyder-appointed-to-berrien-twp-board/">site</a> >>> Thu, 29 Oct 2026 16:40:47 +0000 Career 101 Workshop: Alumni Panel http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/70462 Join us for this candid conversation where prominent Andrews alumni will share the experiences and choices that helped them launch successful careers and reflect on what they might have done differently if they could go back.
