About:

Loretta Wicks is from Lorain, Ohio and came to Columbus to attend graduate school at The Ohio State University, earning both her M.A. and Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology.  Loretta, interestingly enough, commenced her professional career at Columbus State in 1989, serving as an adjunct faculty member.  She later became a faculty member at DeVry University, ultimately serving in the role of Senior Professor in Psychology. During her tenure at DeVry, she realized that “teaching is not just teaching”, but one of “ministry”.  Loretta is passionate about “serving” students, helping them to realize their full potential.

In 2015, she returned to Columbus State as an adjunct faculty member and currently serves in the role of CCP-ACF, affording her the opportunity to teach in the high school environments. During her first semester at Dublin Emerald, she was honored by her students and recognized as Teacher of the Month (November 2022).

In addition to teaching, Loretta and her husband, Monty, are the facilitators of the Marriage and Family Enrichment Ministry at her local church.
