About me
Michelle Sliczniak is the Operations Manager for the Career and TechnicalPrograms Division at Harper College, where she oversees the operational and strategic initiatives that ensure the success of students and programs across Harper College. Based in the Chicago suburbs, Michelle’s family immigrated from Poland, bringing with them a strong work ethic and a commitment to education.
Michelle began her career in education as a private piano instructor, where she not only taught students but also ran her own small business, developed curriculum, and managed all aspects of operational success. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, she transitioned into higher education, gaining experience in Continuing Education before moving into Career and Technical Education. This journey allowed her to combine her passion for teaching with operational leadership, program development, and student support.
Known for her collaborative approach and dedication, Michelle is deeply committed to advancing equitable opportunities for students in CTE programs.
Michelle is excited to grow as a leader in postsecondary Career and Technical Education and looks forward to contributing her skills and passion to the NextLevel Postsecondary CTE Leaders Fellowship.
