	Kara Molenhouse has been a counselor at College of DuPage for nine years. Her previous work experience includes 17 years in Financial Aid. Molenhouse has also taught Career Development courses and worked as a destination services consultant. In 1991 Molenhouse earned an M.S. Ed. in counseling education from Northern Illinois University. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology/business from Taylor University, Indiana. While enjoying all aspects of her job, she especially likes working with new students and those from diverse backgrounds, excited to be the first person to talk to students about what C.O.D. and the Counseling and Advising office can offer them. Molenhouse spent the first half of her life living overseas. Growing up in Saudi Arabia, England and Norway provided her with an appreciation of other people's cultures and for the challenges people face adjusting to new cultures. Molenhouse is excited to be working at the Carol Stream Community Education Center, which has a career resource center on-site and can offer additional resources for students seeking career assistance. Molenhouse enjoys traveling, swimming and snow skiing in the small amount of free time she has as a mom to four boys. [back to alphabetical list of counselors]
