WAUKESHA – The coordinator of Student Services at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha, Susan Adams, Waukesha, will move to the UW-Waukesha Community Education Outreach program on the same campus July 1. In her new position as an Outreach Specialist she will be developing and coordinating programming to support community educational needs.   

As a member of the Student Services team since July 2001, she recruited students to the campus and advised them on how to meet their educational goals. In her newly created position, she will work with the community to create programs that will serve its needs.

She will be assisting Kathy Eckhardt, Outreach Program Manager, who explained how the new position will fit in with the Outreach mission. “Susan will seek collaborations with other universities, schools and businesses in Waukesha County. She will develop contracts with businesses to offer leadership, wellness and customer service workshops for their employees and work with schools to create STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programming,” Eckhardt said.

Adams spent much of her college life simultaneously in college administration and classes. She earned an associate degree from UW-Washington County and bachelor’s degree from UW-Madison, both while working in the admissions office at the Washington County campus in West Bend. Since she came to Waukesha, she has completed a master’s degree in management through Phoenix University.

Adams parents, Merle and Geraldine Adams, live in Antigo, WI.
