Brandi Willis Schreiber first joined the TECHniques Center in 2002 as a tutor and then returned in 2010 as
an Academic Counselor after working in the nonprofit sector. She was named the Assistant

A native of the Texas Panhandle, she enjoys art; hiking the local canyons with her
husband, David; writing; trying out new recipes; and hanging out with her dog, Lucy.
If you ask, she'll tell you about the time she shopped for western shirts with her
favorite musician, Chris Isaak.

Academic Counseling Philosophy
I believe the role of academic counseling is to guide students on their individual paths. I want all my students to become what they envision, but I also want them to see and believe the true potential of what is possible, which often changes drastically between that first day of freshmen classes and the day they walk across the graduation stage. To do this, I create an environment that is welcoming, safe, and facilitates open and gentle conversation about what students want to accomplish, barriers to achieving those goals, and resources – both personal and professional – to help them get there. My approach often involves highlighting “the road less traveled,” to quote Frost, or in other words, to be open to strategies or possibilities students haven't considered.
