She will lead the development of the relaunch and revisioning of the cooperative education program and of a new on-campus work curriculum for Antioch College. Of course she will work closely with the Arthur Morgan Fellows, alumni, advisors and friends of the College in the development of the curriculum and concept of Antioch College. Susan will also participate in the development of a yearlong symposium program, development of curriculum, and fundraising outreach travel to alumni and friends of the College. Prior to the enrollment of students she will identify and recruit co-op employers and prepare them to receive their first co-op students in the summer of 2012. Upon the enrollment of students, the role for the Director of Cooperative Education and Campus Work will shift to that of a member of the faculty, including planning and evaluating the work experiences of students, and teaching skills and capacities associated with the cooperative education and work program.

Susan was selected by the ACPA: College Student Educators International Educational Leadership Foundation as one of their 2006 Diamond Honorees. This honor recognizes higher education professionals who, throughout their careers, have made outstanding contributions to higher education and to student affairs in particular. Her selection was based on a nomination by the Ohio College Personnel Association for which Susan served two terms as president.
