Heather Long
Returning Student Coordinator
Education:
- Master of Science in Education, Adult Education, Indiana University, expected in 2020
- Bachelor of Arts in History, IUPUI, 2015
Professional Experience:
- How long in ACD: I first came to ACD in May 2017.
- What do you like about the work you do: I love the opportunities I have to work one-on-one with returning students. Returning to college after time away can be a stressful and often overwhelming process, and I appreciate that I can be a resource to help guide students and get their questions answered.
- Past jobs/experiences: Prior to coming to IUPUI, I worked for Best Buy for 11 years. The retail world was often hectic, but it could be a lot of fun!
Advice to students: Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Build those relationships with your professors, advisors, and peers and utilize those connections when you feel yourself struggling.
If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?: I do not belong to a specific cluster, but I have a few majors that I might choose: psychology (STEM), sociology (AHHS), or English (AHHS). Psychology and sociology appeal to me because I love trying to understand how people operate and why they do the things they do. English would also be a great fit for me as I love to read and write.
Biography: I am a lifelong resident of Indianapolis and am a graduate of Franklin Central High School. I enjoy going to the movies,
