Pauline Wetter - 9301-194-Advisor/Advisor

Personal Note:

I grew up in Southwest Wisconsin and love small town, rural living! I decided to stay close to home in attending the University of Wisconsin – Platteville for my undergraduate education. I started as a Psychology Major as I wanted to help people and after a couple of changes, I found my place and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a Human Resources Emphasis. I worked in Human Resources for a couple of years and after starting my family decided that was not the area I wanted to work in long term.

I started working at Southwest Wisconsin Technical College in Student Services and knew that working in education is where I belong. It was while working in Admissions and observing the impact that the advisors had with students that I knew one day I would become an Advisor myself. It is here that I have found my passion of helping students navigate their educational journey, exploring their interests, and helping to guide them along the way in their successes and failures. Watching students achieve their desired goals in learning, careers, and life is so incredibly rewarding. I look forward to working with each of you as you discover your passions.
