Office: Pomajevich Faculty Building

Bonnie began working in adult studies in 2009. Prior to that, she worked for five years as assistant registrar. Now, as student assessment advisor, Bonnie evaluates students' academic, work, and life experiences, helping them map out a plan to meet their educational and career goals. She enjoys coordinating the Prior Learning Assessment program, which helps students earn credit for college-level learning gained through life and work experiences.

"I love that NCU gets adult learners! Our evening and online programs acknowledge that adults have vastly different needs and desires than those of students entering college at 18 or 19. Not all colleges understand that, and I'm proud to work at a university that does. NCU also puts value on a person's 'life journey' and seeks to affirm the things learned as a result of life experiences. It's never too late to finish your degree at NCU!"

A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's in elementary education, Bonnie taught for several years. While her children were young, she was a freelance curriculum writer for Group Publishing of Loveland, CO. She is a published author and contributing writer for a variety of publications. Bonnie loves to spend time with friends and family, camp, walk, read, and cook with her husband Chuck. They have two college-age children, a grand-dog, three outdoor cats, and multiplying fish.
