After finishing her graduate degree, Dr. Krause taught both in the psychology and the education departments at NIU. She then joined the AU community as a full-time faculty member. She enjoys mentoring AU students, and especially savors the moments when students complete their research projects and actually acknowledge that they enjoyed conducting an experiment and analyzing their data. She serves as the research director of a longitudinal study examining the effects of a comprehensive, whole-person health intervention for individuals who are dealing with multiple, chronic conditions.
