KEYNOTE SPEAKER BIOGRAPHY
Molly Schaller serves as an associate professor and coordinator of the Master's programs in College Student Personnel and Higher Education Administration at the University of Dayton. She became interested in sophomore student development while working as a student affairs professional and found that sophomores were difficult to understand and the research on college students was little help.
Schaller has been listening to second year and sophomore students in qualitative research studies for more than a decade now. She has consulted with numerous institutions, keynoted conferences, and given numerous professional presentations on the topic.
In addition to Helping Sophomores Succeed: Understanding and Improving the Second-Year Experience, her publications on the topic include pieces in About Campus, the NASPA Journal, and a monograph with the National Resource Center for the First-Year Experience and Students in Transition. Her other research interests involve approaches to maximizing student learning and engagement in the classroom.
