About Me:

Kristie Kozub brings connection & encouragement. As an academic advisor in the Academic Advising and Transfer Center, she teaches students career and transfer options and facilitates decision making, course planning while co-creating academic plans and experiences. Since 2009, Kristie teaches Interpersonal and Public Communication courses at GRCC then joined academic advising in 2017 at the Lakeshore Campus located in Holland, MI.

Kristie’s higher educational career started in the Metro-Detroit area working in admissions and corporate relations. With the help of mentors, instructors and professors, Kristie navigated her way toward the advising field utilizing her connectedness, communication, input and empathy strengths. Over the course of two decades, Kristie has seen the power of education. “It’s not so much knowing (content), but the confidence of and power of being open to learning,” states the Holland native. She continues, “It’s an honor to engage with students as they evolve into a more confident, developed and brighter version of themselves.” Kristie brings diverse experience working with adult learners, English as a Second Language and students who may have challenges seen or unseen. Kristie invites students into her office often. 

When Kristie is away from campus, she enjoys traveling, walking, being with family and friends, podcasts, docudramas, crafts and always being in nature.
