Dr. Paslawski’s academic interests include fiction writing, 20th/21st Century American Literature, and LGBTQ life writing. Because she studies work by writers who often were marginalized within the academy, she strongly believes in FYE’s mission to make all new students feel at home in college. When she’s not at FYE or teaching classes in English, you can find her baking or walking Emma, her rescue beagle.
Professor Jorge Ivan Velez, Assistant Director

Professor Velez is an educator interested in promoting equity by making relevant the everyday lived experiences of students as to encourage self-advocacy. Especially for new students, teaching them how to advocate for themselves is a skill that will help them succeed not only in college, but in every walk of life. When not working at FYE, you can find them emphasizing the understated value of a pre-chorus or looking for zany instances of humor in the minutiae of everyday interactions.
