Seminar Instructor: Shari Schoohs
Hi y'all! My name is Shari and I am the Assistant Director for TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) and Transfer Support at UO. I am originally from a small town in Wisconsin and moved to Oregon five years ago. As a first-generation, low-income student in my undergrad, I understand some of the many challenges transfer students face and really enjoy empowering students to get the most they can from their college experience! In addition, I am teaching this class because I wrote my master's thesis about the barriers that transfer students have to overcome, and we hope that this class and the connections from it help reduce those barriers and aid in your transfer student success! On a personal note, I love cheese, hiking, using my creativity, doing trivia, and hanging out with friends. My partner and I have two cats we call the Marvel Cats as they are both named after Marvel characters (Gambit & Nebula)! Cannot wait to meet and get to know you all :)
