Hello, my name is Carolyn Gunn.  I am very passionate about education, especially Higher Education.  I have 19 years experience working in Higher Education at 3 different institutions all accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.  My backgound in Education began at Sinclair Community College where I worked in a number of capacities as an off-campus facilitator, Academic Resource Center (ARC) facilitator (Dayton Campus), a Counselor, and a Student Success Coach in the Student Success Center and later in Academic Advising. I later began working at Central State University as an Academic Advisor before becoming a Retention Specialist where I assisted in laying the foundation of this department.  In Nov 2019, I left my position at Central State as a Retention Specialist to join a new team, The Retention Team as a Student Success Coach at Wright State University.  I have extensive knowledge in evaluating student's personality preferences and use of study strategies using the Myers-Briggs, JUNG Typology and LASSI tools.   I am very passionate about seeing students succeed. Graduation starts with course completion, semester to semester persistence and progression leading to retention and graduation. My philosophy is, "It's never too late to graduate".
