Jacoba de Boer

Bio: I have been working in higher education since 2007 as an academic advisor, instructor, and now learning specialist. I have since developed a strengths-based curriculum to help students with goal-setting, evidence-based study- and time-management strategies, as well as improvement of overall wellbeing to ensure that students can be academically successful. Before coming to UND, I have been a lead-instructor in student success strategies, as well as a program manager for students in an individually tailored career transitioning bachelor’s program at the University of Minnesota Crookston. At UND, I have provided the curriculum to train UND tutors in an internationally certified program. Currently, I am researching how stress and procrastination relate to each other for college students and what variables can help moderate academic stress and procrastination and enhance overall wellbeing for college students.
