My name is Sara Owen and I am a new professional in the area of student support.  I am currently finishing my Master's degree at Arizona State University in Higher and Postsecondary Education.  Through this graduate student experience, I have critically examined student development, policy and law, and effective advising and have come to form my own constructs on how to be successful in student support.  

I came to be a professional in higher education from a unique experience.  In 2006-2007, I traveled across the country to American universities and colleges as a student organization consultant.  I was leading workshops and seminars teaching teamwork, organizational structure, leadership, networking, and academic success.  I throughly enjoyed working at the collegiate level and it was then that I realized I could work for an institution of higher education putting these skills to use.

Arizona State University is a wonderful university to attend and work for in this time of innovation and change happening at this institution.  We are pushing the boundaries of typical structure seeking and developing new structures of learning. 


Career Interests
My passion for higher education lies in holistic advising to assist students to further develop their identity through experiences and reflections.
