Jeff Lamson – General Assignment Reporter
assistant director of academic advising in the First-Year Experience Program
has deep roots in being involved at Southern since her experience here as an undergraduate student
Hoffecker had been a resident advisor at both Hickerson Hall and North Campus Townhouses for a total of three years
while getting her bachelor’s degree in art education
Hoffecker was able to learn more about leadership and responsibility as she helped students in their resident experience
“I had a cross-section of experiences working with students
“living alongside them as a sort of peer.”
She was also responsible for managing behavior and enforcing policy
She was later inspired to get her masters degree in science of special education with a concentration in autism after nannying a young boy
and he taught me so much about the world,” Hoffecker said
She went on to say that she was captivated “by that particular
and I wanted to learn about it from an academic lens.” During this period
Hoffecker was also working in the Office of Student Conduct and Civic Responsibility as a graduate intern
She then became the hall director for Hickerson Hall
where she was the leader of 10 resident advisors and all of the students who lived there
Hoffecker said it was “the best job I’ll ever have.” It allowed her to further explore leadership and responsibility while also being able to increase the scope of her “educational reach.”
Hoffecker has brought all of her experiences along to help students in their first year at Southern and beyond if they ask for it
She says she loves when she’s able to help students get back from the bottom to get back in good academic standing
“That’s really rewarding work,” Hoffecker said
