Michelle Sheran-Andrews joined the UNC Chapel Hill faculty in 2014 after 13 years at our sister institution, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where she won Teaching Excellence Awards from the Bryan School of Business and Economics in 2005, 2009, and 2014 and from the Student Government Association in 2010.  Michelle is an experienced teacher and researcher in microeconomics, economic statistics and labor economics.  Her early research focused on public programs for needy families and on women’s joint career and family decisions.  In recent years, she has been particularly interested in the role assessment in the learning process and as a means of integrating core content across the curriculum, and she has presented her work at conferences in Wilmington and Greensboro.
