Carolyn Williams is a career readiness coach in the University Career Center. She is a life-time Eugene resident. She left for college (she earned a BA in English from Oregon State University—don’t hold it against her), but returned right after graduation.
Her career, thus far, has been in education, starting as a preschool teacher locally, then serving as an English education volunteer for Peace Corps in Azerbaijan. When she returned from her service, she earned her master of arts in teaching from Pacific University and worked as a middle school teacher for 12 years. Most recently, Carolyn has been the UO Peace Corps Recruiter.
Carolyn enjoys hiking with her dog and family, writing, reading, cooking, and traveling. She loves the UO because of all the cultural opportunities it provides to our community. Her favorites include the museums and the Oregon Bach Festival.
