About the President-Elect
Karen McClain-Wright
I have been advising students for a total of eight years with two of those being at Somerset Community College, all previous advising was at the University of Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky University. My advising philosophy is as follows:
Advising is an integral part of the educational experience for students. It assist students with building a roadmap to successfully completing their educational and career goals. Advising is a teaching process that provides students with the necessary tools to navigate through the educational system, utilize a variety of resources, and build a network of colleagues and friends for a lifetime.
Hobby: Spending quality time with my family
I am happy to be serving as the Vice President in KACADA because I believe we have an instrumental role in helping student navigate through the educational process. With most things in life, the group who bangs the drum the loudest get the most attention and I think we need to draw more attention to how we are on the front line in student persistence and success. I want to be that voice for you as fellow advisors across the state.
