Academic Expertise

Hello! My name is Chelsea Smidt. I have worked at WSU in the Business Student Success Center since 2018. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Pastoral Ministry from Oklahoma Wesleyan University and I’m currently working on my Master’s in Human Resource Management right here at WSU.

Other Interests

Most of my hobbies center around whatever my three children enjoy, and when I get the chance, I love to travel. Some of my favorite travels have been to Colorado, The Bahamas, Monterey, California, and Hawaii. Locations on my bucket list include New Zealand, the Mediterranean, and Alaska.

Additional

I enjoy helping students find their way, whether by helping them choose a major or working together to figure out the best path forward through a difficult semester. In addition to work and school, I am the mother of three busy children, ages 3-8, so I understand the struggles many students face as they balance their academic, personal, and professional lives.
