TRIO Welcomes Faculty Coach Katherine Gleiss

Katherine grew up in a small town in Wisconsin where few students continued to higher education after high school. She earned a BA, BS, and MS at the University of Wisconsin and Indiana University. 

She has experience working with students in correctional facilities, high schools, and at NEIU for 27 years, first at TRIO then at the Learning Success Center. She has loved working with students throughout her career. 

Spending time with family, being in nature, reading, and raising animals are her favorite pastimes.
