She spent her career at the University of Georgia researching and writing about college student learning. Over the years, she developed a special interest in how students make the academic transition from learning in high school to learning in college.

Years of university teaching led her to a firm belief that students can make a smooth transition from high school to college, and should be able to, if they are given the tools. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSherrie has published numerous research articles and book chapters that focus on studying and learning, and she has made over 125 presentations at professional meetings.
