Bio
I’m Regine Criser and I’m the Director of Student Success here at UNCA. I joined UNCA in 2013 as a faculty member in the Department of Languages and Literatures and still enjoy teaching, mostly First-Year Seminars and German classes. I moved to the United States from Germany in 2006 and earned my M.A. in Germanic Languages and Literatures from the University of Kansas and my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois.
When I’m not working in the Academic Success Center, I enjoy reading, puzzling, cooking, and of course spending time with my family!
