Elise
Michaux
Greensburg, Pennsylvania
My name is Elise Michaux. I attended Slippery Rock University for both my undergraduate and graduate studies. My B.A. is in English Literature and M.A. is in Student Affairs in Higher Education. Throughout my six years at The Rock, I was not just working inside of the classroom, but outside as well. I worked extensively alongside faculty, staff, and administration through my participation in different clubs and organizations in order to better the university for current and future students.

By having all those experiences, working on the college campus quickly became my passion. Those of us who decide to pursue higher education can attest to the invaluable learning and growth that takes place during the college years. I would like to be part of that for many students.
