Education/Occupations

After, she taught high school English and journalism in Michigan for two years, and eventually earned her master's degree in journalism at Ohio State University. Following her master's, Trauth entered the doctoral program in mass communication at the University of Iowa.[3]
In April, 1997, Trauth began serving as Provost and Vice Chancellor of academic affairs at The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. There, she led the campus through two rounds of strategic planning that resulted in the university’s integrating distance education into the curriculum and developing a new college of information technology, a new campus and its first residence hall-based learning community. Trauth also established the Faculty Center for Teaching, led the revision of the general education requirements and chaired an equity study on faculty salaries.[4][5]
