Queens native Kerri Mulqueen received her B.A. in English from
SUNY Albany in 2000 and her M.A. in English/Creative Writing from
Queens College in 2002, then joined the D.A. program at St. John's
in the fall of 2007. She has a background in high school education
and administration. Her primary research interests are
investigating the curricular and expectation gap between English
education at the secondary and post-secondary levels, the use of
technology in the composition classroom, urban education,
composition theory, and writing center pedagogy. She has been

programs in recent years with the goal in mind of helping high

best they can for higher education.
