Casey Richards

Senior Academic Advisor for Technology Management and Construction, Electrical and Industrial Engineering students with 45 hours or more

While a graduate student at Sam Houston State, Casey enjoyed teaching and working with college students.  Once she graduated, she taught high school agriculture courses for 4.5 years but really missed working in higher education.  She began seeking a change in career and knew people who loved their jobs at A&M-Commerce. She started her career at A&M-Commerce as a Student Solutions Specialist, then moved to Success Coach, and eventually landed a job that she absolutely adores, the Senior Academic Advisor for the College of Science and Engineering.

A Conversation with Casey Richards

What is your favorite thing about A&M-Commerce?

“My favorite things about the environment here are the small-town feel of Commerce and how friendly my CoSE students are.  They are always willing to drop by and say hello, hold a door for ANYBODY, and are so smart!”

Tell us about your job here on campus.

“My position is great because I get to meet so many people from all over. We have students who come here internationally to compete on various teams. It's such a great experience hearing about various cultures and the student’s goals after college.”
