Journalism Transfer Seminar Instructor

Hailey Nailor is a Career and Academic Advisor for the SOJC. Working with students in housing, supervising student staff, teaching, and advising. With a BA in biochemistry from Iowa State University and MS.Ed. in Higher Education and Student Affairs they started working with college students who were underprepared for college. Before joining the University of Oregon, Hailey was an advisor at Utah Tech University, where she played a key role in developing a pioneering Study Skills course aimed at equipping first-year students with essential tools for academic success. Her interests lie in research related to college student success and cognitive development, and she is passionate about advocating for positive social change.

Welcome to the flock! I work with Hailey Nailor as a Career and Academic Advisor in the Student Success Center in the SOJC. I come to this work with a master's degree in Higher Education Administration and have a vested interest in thinking about how we can remove barriers to accessing college for "non-traditional" students. I'm excited to teach our transfer seminar course this fall and have a more direct impact on our students’ transition to UO. When I'm not working at UO, you can find me consuming copious amounts of content in the form of books, TV shows, Movies, and TikTok videos while somehow finding time to hang out with my partner, dog, cat, and neighbors in our shared garden.
