Horn Excellence in 研究: Shannon Trecartin
Associate Professor, School of Social Work
It is no exaggeration to say that Shannon Trecartin wants to change the world with her research. Whether she’s conducting complex analyses for the Adventist Global Church Survey, using data to understand how people with disabilities experience care and belonging in churches, or spotlighting the relationship between Adventist family rejection and LGBTQ+ depression and suicide rates, Shannon has made it her mission to shine a light on overlooked and disenfranchised communities.
Shannon believes that data can tell stories and shape policies that improve people’s lives. 学生 in her classes experience her passion for making a difference with data, sometimes expressing surprise when they understand and enjoy research for the first time. Shannon also partners with and mentors colleagues in moving their own research projects forward, often providing advice on research designs, data collection and statistical analyses.
Shannon’s drive to understand and address social injustices using data animates her teaching, service and research, ensuring that changing the world is all in a day’s work. Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your gifts and talents with the College of Arts & 科学. Your work serves as an inspiration to your colleagues and students at Andrews University.
