Stefani Shaffer

Administrative Assistant

Stefani is the Center for Learning’s Administrative Assistant.  She provides various types of support for the staff in the center as well as runs the front desk and oversees the student desk staff.  If you walk into the Center for Learning you will more than likely be greeted by Stefani and she is always willing to sit and talk!

When Stefani is not enjoying the company of the front desk groupies, she is enjoying the outdoors with either her dog Skooter, her bike, or her friends.  In August 2006, Stef made the big move across the country from just outside of DC, to Seattle in order to become a student at Mars Hill Graduate School where she is currently working towards her Masters in Counseling Psychology.  Stef spent her formidable years in the Cleveland Ohio area where she became an avid Ohio State Buckeyes fan.
