Matthew Kaulius grew up in the small Western Jersey town of Phillipsburg. While growing up, Matt dreamed of being like his heroes Harry Kalas and Merrill Reese and hoped to one day be the voice of the Phillies. He tried to make this dream come true as a Communication Arts major at Ramapo College of New Jersey. However, as his time as a student, he realized that radio was not the right place for him, and instead fell in love with the world of higher education. This lead him to pursue a master’s degree in Student Personnel Administration at the State University of New York College at Buffalo. Since finishing his studies, Matt’s journey has taken him to such places at Rockland County, New York, Philadelphia, and how here to Rutgers-Camden. He is continuously challenged and excited by the Rutgers-Camden students. He is also happy to still be living in an area where he can openly route for the Phillies and Eagles. In his spare time, Matt enjoys reading, watching trashy reality television, following the crazy world of politics and following obscure sports like the Canadian Football League.

I have worked at Rutgers-Camden for a little over a year now but have been working as a professional academic advisor for about a decade now. I’m from a small town in upstate New York and went to undergrad at the University at Albany. I majored in psychology and played football and ran track at the division I level while attending the university. I was a first generation student struggled academically my first year and was placed on academic probation. I quickly adjusted my commitment to earning my degree and graduated with a 3.0 GPA. I had a great deal of support from my academic advisors to help recover and decided to that I want to affect other students in a similar way. I earned my graduate degree from Springfield College in Massachusetts in counseling psychology with a concentration in student personnel administration. I have worked at the University of Rhode Island, Montclair State University, and Rutgers.
I am married and have two pets (a dog and a cat, no kids for now!), you will find that l love discussing both with my students. I spend a majority of my free time watching TV and movies or listening to music but I also like playing video games. I guess I’m kind of a nerd. I would love to travel the world more and maybe one day learn to fly a plane.
