Shane Hua

  • Coursera Program Manager
Address

Office:  Rose D. Litman Research Lab 1 (RL-1), Office 116

Shane received her M.S. Ed. In School Counseling from Purdue University after defending her graduate thesis exploring racial identity development among Midwestern Asian American college students. After advising business, pre-nursing, STEM and first year students in the last decade, Shane grew an interest in assessment design and data analysis, and had the opportunity to launch an assessment taskforce with a group of likeminded enthusiasts in the A&S. She also found joy in supporting and coaching advisors as a supervisor. As the online program manager for Engineering Management Program, she is excited to try new things, measure success, and connect with people.

Born with parents as biology professors, Shane rebelled by shying away from STEM and choosing her educational path through the humanities. Yet her latent interest in the sciences has emerged in the form of reading (while not comprehending fully) and presenting goofy research studies through mini TedTalks to her (unfortunate) friends.

Shane鈥檚 legal name pronunciation is Hua, Xia (Who-ah, She-ah).
