General Education-Strategies for Success
Dr. Lina Liken-Paske, fondly known as “Dr L” to her students, has been involved with higher education for many years, working as a professor and instructor in English, business, education and general studies at the college level, holding several key positions, including, MBA Chair, Associate Dean of Academics at Florida Metropolitan University. Additionally, Lina is a certified addiction counselor, a position she has held for 22 years.

Lina has worked with South University since 2004, an experience she really loves! “There is a clear difference between online and on ground classes. I especially enjoy the online setting as it promotes getting to know one another so much more than on ground. I facilitate Strategies for Success here at South and serve as the Program Director for General Education, Strategies for Success,” says Lina.

As for her personal life, Lina has 3 grown children, and is a proud grandmother of 3 children with whom she enjoys spending time especially since they only live about 45 minutes away from her home.

Recently, Lina married a former college sweetheart. Her husband is a college professor who practices as a biomedical engineer and performs medical gas testing in hospitals and clinics throughout Florida. “We plan to spend many joyful years together and certainly feel blessed to have this opportunity at married life. As a couple we are involved at our church in a ministry with the homeless and I do volunteer counseling for church members,” says Lina.

Professionally, Lina hopes to continue to have the same passion for education as she did when she first entered the field, because she believes that education has been the golden thread that highlights her career throughout the years.
