As a professor, I am honored to help students reach their full potential, their goals, and ultimately obtain their diploma. Knowing that I have been a part of making students’ dreams come true is something I love being a part of and one of the main reasons I fulfilled my own dreams of becoming a teacher. As I tell my students, “Your success is my success”.
Professor Mowen grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. Mowen has three grown children and eight grandchildren ranging from 19 – 7. She and her wife of 18 years also have 3 “fur babies” (Labrador Retrievers) living with them. Mrs. Mowen, when not teaching, can be found at her “happy place” on the golf course.
