Shannon joined the Thornton Center staff in December of 2007 as the Learning Specialist in the Special Needs Program. Her primary responsibility is to support student-athletes who have diagnosed disabilities through one-on-one academic coaching, consultation with student support teams, and providing training for students, staff, and coaches. Shannon came to UT in 2004 and was previously a Learning Disabilities Coordinator and Interim Director of the Office of Disability Services at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She is a native of Coldwater, Michigan and played collegiate volleyball at Coastal Carolina University before transferring to Michigan State University, where she earned both her Bachelor of Arts (1998) and Master of Arts (2003) degrees. While completing her graduate degree, she worked as a mentor and tutor in the MSU Student-Athlete Support Services unit. | |
