Hello, my name is Carolyn Gunn. I am deeply passionate about education — especially Higher Education — and have dedicated 23 years to helping students succeed at three institutions accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

My journey began at Sinclair Community College, where I served in multiple roles, including Off-Campus Facilitator, Academic Resource Center (ARC) Facilitator on the Dayton Campus, Counselor, and Student Success Coach in both the Student Success Center and Academic Advising.

I later joined Central State University as an Academic Advisor and went on to help build the foundation of the Retention Department as a Retention Specialist. In November 2019, I brought my experience and commitment to Wright State University, where I joined the Retention Team as a Student Success Coach.

Throughout my career, I’ve developed extensive expertise in understanding students’ unique learning styles and study strategies, utilizing tools such as Myers-Briggs, JUNG Typology, and LASSI to help guide them toward academic success.

I am truly passionate about seeing students persist, progress, and graduate. I believe that graduation starts with course completion, semester-to-semester persistence, and consistent support — and that every student deserves the chance to cross that finish line.

My philosophy is simple: It’s never too late to graduate.
