She earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Nebraska - Kearney; her master's degree from the University of Nebraska - Omaha; and her doctoral degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her Ph.D. is in Leadership in Higher Education. Additionally, she possesses an APR (National Accreditation in Public Relations) from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and management certification from Texas Education Corporation.  

  

Dr. Moerer has worked in the marketing, advertising, and public relations arenas for more than 25 years and has owned and operated a marketing and public relations company, The Image Business, for seven years.  Her experiences in corporate organizations and higher education combine to provide many real-world situations that are incorporated into the classroom setting.
