Schedule an appointment with Kishia

Hi! And welcome to advising! My name is Kishia Ross and I am the Assistant Director of Advising. I served in the Academic Advising office for thirteen years as the administrative assistant. During this time, I earned my bachelor’s degree from Alverno and graduated in 2006. My major of study was community leadership and development. As both a student and an employee, Alverno instilled in me that education is a life-long endeavor, which is why I chose to pursue my master’s degree in student personnel administration. I graduated from Concordia University in 2013. Shortly after graduation, I accepted a position at Concordia as a student services advisor where I served for three years. This career path has come full circle and now I am back “home.” The best part of my job is the student interactions, so please feel free to connect with me often. As education is one of my values, I often say, “It is an awesome day when you have learned something new!” I look forward to meeting each and every one of you.
