    Overview

    Michelle A. Eaton, Director for Student Retention and Success at the University of North Georgia, has built her career around a passion for serving and supporting students. After earning her M.S. in First-Year Studies, she played a vital role in partnering with Academic Affairs to create and implement student persistence initiatives at UNG. Her research interests are student mindset, persistence, and self-authorship, evident in her thesis “An Exploratory Study of First-Year Student Self-Authorship and Maintenance of a Merit-Based Scholarship.” She currently is in the Learning, Leadership, and Organizational Development doctoral program at the University of Georgia.

    In her free time, Michelle enjoys spending time with her husband and five kids enjoying downtown Dahlonega, or at home with their mini hobby farm.
