Janique T Caffie

Janique “Jan” Caffie attended Seton Hall University, earning her B.A. in Psychology and Master’s in Psychological Studies. Jan has spent three decades working in higher education. Prior to coming to UNCW, Jan “retired” from the County College of Morris, where she was the Dean of Student Success. In this role, Jan spent many hours working with students to resolve many issues, but she most enjoyed the opportunity to advise students.

Retirement allowed Jan to relocate to North Carolina, a move she had been dreaming of for quite some time. She retired for all of five days when she realized that higher education was not done with her yet. She accepted a position within the UNCW Graduate School as a Graduate Admissions Specialist. After a year, she joined the Watson College of Education in September of 2024 as an academic advisor.

Jan has a son who plays soccer for his college and two fur babies. When she isn’t cheering on her son’s college team, she can be found binge-watching Netflix or out on the town in search of a good band. She is also proud to be part of the first cohort of the Ed.D. Community College Leadership program. You can call her “Dr. Jan” in a few years if all goes well.
