StevenScherger

I am currently a doctoral student in Higher Education and Student Personnel at Kent State University and the Coordinator for First-Year Student Academic Affairs at Case Western Reserve University. My primary research area is the role spirituality and faith play in the meaning-making processes of tradition college students, although I also have interests in college student development theory, the history of American higher education, and the campus cultures of religiously-affiliated colleges and universities.

I grew up on a grain farm in northern Ohio. I received my B.A. in History and Political Science from The Ohio State University in 1999, and my M.A. in Higher Education and Student Affairs in 2002. I have five years of work experience in academic advising and adminstration, and one year in career services. I currently reside in Stow, Ohio with my wife of three-years, Michelle, and our boxer, Israel. I also co-lead the yeshiva at my messianic congregation, Rosh Pinah, in Bath, Ohio.
