Tolliver served as Assistant for the Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and advised the Vice Chancellor on everything that involved the financial resources of the Division; including budget development, all personnel actions for the Division, and policy development.

After that, Tolliver became the Associate Director for Contracted Auxiliary Services, which was responsible for the management of contracted services, including Chartwells, which has been at LSU for over 10 years; ATMs; the post office; and Barnes & Noble Bookstore.

When it comes to ASISU, Tolliver says that his role will be as a financial advisor not only to ASISU Government, but also to each and every student club under ASISU.

Tolliver belonged to Delta Tau Delta Fraternity at LSU, and after graduating he served as the chapter's University Advisor. He also served as the advisor to the Student Government Election Board, was the Vice President of Finance for the Union Governing Board and the Program Board at LSU, and also chaired the Films Committee.

Tolliver was also the trial court judge at LSU for two years. LSU has a two-tiered court system where the trial court judge hears all the cases, and students can appeal decisions to the university court.

"In two years, I had never had a ruling overturned by the University Court," said Tolliver proudly, and added that the election problems and concerns at ISU are not really different from any other college.

Tolliver says that through his work in Student Affairs he hopes to provide opportunities for students to work with him, and to work on projects or tasks that pertain to their education.

"This is a wonderful learning laboratory that will provide students with practical experiences that complement their academic training," commented Tolliver, "…Student Affairs has the opportunity to provide students with beneficial co-curricular experiences that will enhance their educational experience while here at ISU. I want all the students, not just those in the clubs, to know that I am here for them, and my door is always open."

Tolliver was raised in a farming community in rural northern Louisiana. Tolliver says that his hometown, Winnsboro, in Franklin Parish, consisted of about 6,000 people, making him right at home in Pocatello.

"I have been favorably impressed with Pocatello," said Tolliver, "…except for the inconsistency in the weather."
