Biography
Catherine Agar has been at Keuka College since 2012, when she worked as a writing specialist in the Adult and Online Education program. She has a BA in English with a minor in religious studies from St. John Fisher College and a MA in English from the University of Rochester, where her master’s thesis was about auditory reception in English poet John Milton’s Paradise Lost. She was a nontraditional, first generation student who earned her BA and MA as an adult with three children, so she has a special place in her heart for students who come to college and find themselves confused by the expectations and/or overwhelmed by the responsibilities. Catherine’s passion is to help students over the bumps in their road to success.

Biography
I have the unique experience of working as a student and as an instructor both pre-and post-pandemic. After completing my MA at the University of Rochester, I joined the Keuka College community in 2020. I love working with students from all disciplines.
Although I have a particular fondness for the humanities, languages, and arts, I love to learn whatever I can about all subjects until my brain hurts a bit. I was the first person in my family to complete a college degree, so I value an array of life experiences and educational backgrounds. I enjoy horror, good humor, and horrifying people with my terrible sense of humor.
