Carey Haeufgloeckner

Hello!

My name is Carey Haeufgloeckner, and I am a 2010 graduate of Kent’s M.Ed. in Higher Education Administration. My journey through that coursework led to courses that looked more at the academic side of higher education, and I found myself in the middle of this certificate program. While I entered the field to impact students through academic advising, work that I still enjoy doing, along the way I realized a passion for impacting students through their professors, and this led me to faculty development work.

This semester I am co-teaching a section of “COMM 110: Communication Skills”, a required gen ed course, at Malone University. My undergraduate degree and work experience leans quite a bit toward marketing and communications, and I believe courses like this can really impact students’ lives and work, regardless of major. In a full-circle moment, I actually took this class at Malone 12 years ago as a post-secondary student, and I have taught sections of the similar course at Kent as a TA while doing graduate work in instructional communication. Completing this certificate is allowing me to gain further teaching experience, as well as provide some undergirding to my work background and interests.

Outside of higher education, I am a wife and mother, both of which have been my main focus for the past several years. I also devote time to advocating for and supporting human rights and public health causes, particularly those facing mothers.
