Melissa Lynn

My name is Melissa Lyn and I am a Seattle Promise Retention Specialist at North Seattle College. I assist Seattle Promise students beginning in the spring of their senior year in high school and throughout their subsequent two-year educational journey at North. I advise students pursuing the following areas:
Arts, Design, and Graphics
Social Sciences, Humanities, & Language (last names A-K)
Undecided/Exploratory

As a Retention Specialist I serve as an academic advisor and wrap-around support specialist. I provide guidance on how to navigate the college experience and provide support in finding solutions to a variety of barriers that arise for students pursuing higher education. My goal is to help students understand their options and to empower them to make choices that are right for them.

Prior to joining Seattle Promise, I have worked in higher education for a decade in various roles, including 5 years at North Seattle College as a Financial Aid & Workforce Education Specialist.
