Tricia “Trish” Wedderburn has worked in higher education for more than a decade, contributing to student, staff, and faculty development. Trish earned a Master of Arts in an individualized program of study where she was able to combine higher education administration and instructional design and development.

Trish’s work has included student and academic development, course and curriculum design, and faculty development. In addition to teaching academic development and orientation courses, she has taught academic, technical, and business writing in blended, online, and in-person formats. In a lecturer role, Trish was a part of developing a community for faculty to engage and exchange teaching strategies.

Trish is concerned with enhancing the teaching and learning experience by developing those involved, and she is excited to contribute to the work of CTE.
