Leah Schueler
As area director for the Office of Residential Education, Leah Shueler offers a contagious “can do” attitude and a passion for working with students.
Leah supervises the four graduate residence coordinators who oversee the residence advisors for Marks Tower, Marks Hall/Trojan Hall, Pardee Tower and the Radisson. She shares emergency duty responsibilities with other area directors and handles her area's administrative reviews. In addition, Leah co-teaches an EDCO 030 course and has been a teaching assistant for EDHP 565 for the past three spring semesters.
“As a colleague, I have found Leah to be incredibly passionate about her work,” says Matthew Nelson, east area director for the Office of Residential Education. “It is her personal commitment to learning and her professional commitment to her colleagues and staff that make Leah an invaluable teammate.”
Leah, who has worked at USC since 2003, earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration with an emphasis in marketing from Mount St. Mary's College, a Master of Education in college student personnel from the University of Maryland, College Park, and will complete her Ed.D. in educational leadership from USC this spring. She is a member of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) and the Western Association of College and University Housing Officers (WACUHO).
“The great colleagues—students and professional staff—have made working here a joy!” says Leah. “I have especially appreciated the wisdom and guidance from the team in the Office of the Vice President of Student Affairs on particularly tough student/parent issues.”
