Dashielle Horn

Dr. Dashielle Horn is the Assistant Director of Academic Outreach and Student Development for the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education (OMSE), where she works with the tutoring services program and Sister to Sister.

Dashielle has nearly 15 years of experience supporting students in higher education, with a background in teaching first-year writing, literature, and pedagogy; tutoring in study skills and writing; and student success program administration. In past positions, she has led tutoring centers and overseen wraparound retention efforts, resulting in high retention, graduation, and return from leave rates. She holds a tutoring certification from the College Reading and Learning Association, as well as SI Supervisor training from the International Center for Supplemental Instruction. Dashielle earned an MA and PhD in English from Lehigh University, after BAs in English and History from Salisbury University. Dashielle's doctoral research focused on British women writers of the eighteenth century, investigating the formation of the spinster figure and early women novelists’ efforts to write opportunities for single lives into existence. Because that's not particularly relevant to student academic success work, it’s now more of a hobby! Other hobbies include a variety of needlecrafts and volunteering with the cats at the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter.
