Gwen Cossin

Since joining the faculty in 2015, Gwen has encouraged her students to use their gifts and God-given talents for His purpose. Her current UNW-SP role as a business educator and accounting program manager is uplifting as she works primarily with adults returning to school.

“When a family situation in 2014 brought a nephew to live with us, I home-schooled him for a year. I was hooked on the individual nature of learning and enlightened by the variety of tools available for online schools and individual assessments. That was when I knew my future flex-professional status would be heavily saturated in non-traditional teaching opportunities.”

Gwen’s prior leadership experience as a Director at United Health Group included national initiatives related to Revenue Accounting, Provider Access, Product Management, and Sales Operations. In her community Gwen has served on non-profit boards and educational steering committees. Whether a small church or a small business, she finds ways to help, encourage, and improve the day-to-day business functions that improve everyone’s focus toward achieving the organization’s mission.
