Rachel Elizabeth Traxler
Senior Academic Counselor
Student Disability Services

As a Senior Academic Counselor in Student Disability Services, Rachel Traxler not only contributes positively to the students who use the TECHniques Center, but she also serves a very special population of students at the Burkhart Center for Autism Education and Research. She is a special member of Project CASE, a grant project through the Burkhart Center. She meets as part of a team that works to support these students as a whole and help them gain valuable internships and job skills upon graduation. Rachel has proven herself to be a thoughtful, patient, and encouraging team member, and as a result, many of her students who have been in crisis have made it successfully through the semester. In fact, this next year, she will have two Project CASE students graduate. That is a huge accomplishment for the students, Student Disability Services, the Burkhart Center, and the University as a whole.
