Edith Wheeler
Retired Educator
I chose to be a Scholars Program Advisor because . . .
I want to encourage and support first generation college students as they pursue their higher education goals.
The challenges of serving as an Advisor include . . .
making connections with new Scholars and tasks as simple as arranging meeting times in their busy schedules.
The rewards of serving as an Advisor include . . .
developing relationships with Scholars and their families, and working with Scholars to overcome obstacles and achieve success in college.
