Melissa Lawson ~ Assistant Director of Dual Enrollment - Matriculation
My enthusiasm and drive are in education. I believe learning opens doors, creates opportunities and helps people grow personally and professionally. I’ve worked in higher education for over 14 years, serving in both public and private institutions.
As the Assistant Director of Dual Enrollment Matriculation at Trine University, I’m excited to work with Samantha Fulton to support high school students and their families. Together, we help them find dual enrollment opportunities that make college more accessible, affordable and equitable for all.
I've been married for 30 years, and my husband and I have three adult children including a son-in-law and daughter-in-law. My children were all educated in homeschool, public and private school settings, which gave me a broad perspective as a parent and educator. I also homeschooled for over 10 years and worked in university career services, assisting students move from the classroom to their careers.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, taking long walks, having lunch or dinner with family and friends, and watching movies. I grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and later moved to Indiana where I’ve had many “firsts” like mowing with the riding mower, picking and freezing vegetables, visiting a drive-in theater and, of course, shoveling snow! I look forward to exploring even more places in Indiana and beyond the Midwest.
