Calen Gutwein (she/her/hers)

Senior Academic Advisor & Coordinator in Exploratory Studies

​

Education: Master of Arts in the Teaching of English as a Second Language - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign​​

​

Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies - University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

​

From: Germantown Hills, IL

​

Best Part of My Job: Journeying with students as they find meaning and purpose in their lives while navigating their academic career.

​

What students can reach out for: I am here to answer any questions for students exploring majors, minors, certificates, general education courses, and other campus resources. I can also help with questions about campus policies and procedures (students may also need to connect with their departmental advisor if not in Exploratory Studies). 

​

Supporting RASI: I came from a small town outside of Peoria, and the transition to UIUC felt like a big one...so many people from all over the state, nation, and world, and it was definitely more urban than I was used to. Having a sense of belonging and purpose was crucial for my success here, and I am exited to see the connections and community that RASI is cultivating! It is an honor to be the Staff Advisor!
