Amanda Pelar- 2

I am originally from Pittsburgh, PA. I attended Chatham College and received my Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts and Psychology. After graduation, I took a semester off to travel, touring across the U.S. as well as going abroad. I went back for my Masters and receive an M.S. in College Student Personnel from Miami University in Oxford, OH. I focused on Student Development Theory and Higher Education Administration.

 

I enjoy residence life and working with students who choose to live on campus. My residential experience shaped my undergraduate education, and my hope is to create an learning environment that does the same for Curry Hall residents.

 

If I were not at Longwood, I would want to be abroad, studying systems of higher education that countries have in place. I have participated in two study tours that have focused on the structure and function of Western European and South African universities. In the future, I hope to pursue my interest in the globalization of higher education and the comparative learning structures that many international institutions attribute to U.S. colleges and universities.
