Dr. Renee Bourdeaux is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies at Northwest University with a passion for studying and teaching about positivity and resilience in interpersonal communication. Although she loves her faculty role, her road to becoming a faculty member was a bit nontraditional. Renee started her educational journey at the University of North Dakota. As she was working on a B.A. in Communication, she became a Resident Assistant. She enjoyed working in the residence halls so much that she went on to get a Master’s degree in Communication while she worked as a Hall Director. Once she earned her M.A., Renee had many career adventures in life: Residence Hall Director, Complex Director, Vice President of Communication and Marketing, and Instructor.
Renee, however, discovered that she enjoys being in the classroom more than most things in life. Renee knew she needed to go back to get her Ph.D. to become a full-time faculty member, so she decided to pursue her doctoral degree in the Department of Communication at North Dakota State University. She finished her doctoral degree in the spring of 2016 and now gets to use her gifts to teach at Northwest University. At Northwest University, Renee teaches classes on relational communication such as Love and Communication, Family Communication, Interpersonal Communication, and Small Group Communication. Her desire to explore the bright side of communication leads her to research studies that examine the ways individuals and couples communicate positively. Although she has experience with mixed methodologies, her expertise lies in qualitative research.
When she is not on campus, Renee loves to hang out with her husband, two children, her dog, and her cat. She enjoys hiking and backpacking in the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, anything active, funny movies, and Christian music. Plus, Renee is always on the lookout for opportunities to use her talents to carry the call of God whenever she can!
