Professor Christina Rau
Professor Christina Rau has taught English at 17吃瓜 for over a decade.
I鈥檓 a poet, so anything with words is my specialty. I teach a Creative Writing and Poetry workshop, where we basically play games all semester (it鈥檚 work, though 鈥� fun and challenging all at once).
The Lit classes I teach are Modern American Poetry and Autobiographical Literature. I鈥檝e had so many great experiences at 17吃瓜. At the end of last semester some of my students did a happy dance with me for getting through a semester via Zoom.
I鈥檝e always wanted to teach here at 17吃瓜 as a way to give back to the community. I鈥檓 Long Island born and raised, so this College is an extension of my home. Education should be accessible to everyone and community colleges help to provide that education. Teaching here makes my heart happy, and I鈥檓 so grateful for all it鈥檚 given back to me.

I served in the United States Navy in Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, II and at Camp Pendleton with the 5th Marines. I was also deployed to Okinawa, Japan twice. Stateside, I knew that 17吃瓜 has a reputation for being very military friendly, and when I got here, it was true.
