Shernette D. Dunn is a four time graduate of Florida Atlantic University earning her bachelors, masters, specialist, and Ph.D degrees all from the College of Education. She is also the first to earn the Instructional Designer Certificate offered by the College of Education. 'When I moved to the United States in 1997 from Jamaica, like most immigrants, I wanted to achieve the 'American Dream' and I chose education as my path," said Dr. Dunn, who earned her doctorate in 2020. After graduating with her bachelor's degree, Dr. Dunn began working for Broward County Schools teaching various grade levels. While working in the school system she also gained the coveted National Board Certification. She was also an adjunct instructor at Broward College for over 10 years where she taught Reading, English for Academic Purposes and College Success Skills. She has worked in various other educational sectors in Broward County supporting children and their families. While attending FAU, Dr. Dunn was a commuter student and considered the Davie campus her home campus. "It was easy and convenient to attend the Davie campus because it was a stone's throw from Nova Eisenhower Elementary where I worked for over 10 years," she said. Dr. Dunn has also worked as a part time instructor for FAU to help first year students get familiar with college courses, and expectations. She said that was one of the highlights of her career where she felt like she came full circle by helping other students to grow and develop educationally. Dr. Dunn supports education both at the local and nation level. She previously worked at one of the Nation's Military Academies where she served in an administrative role to promote student success. She is now working on a project for the National Academies of Science where she is helping to write a report for education practices for adult learners in the military context. Dr. Dunn also supported education and technology ventures by being part of the National Technology Leadership Summit and other organizations that promotes education and technology. See less
