As a professor of education in the Department of Educational Leadership and Human Development at Bradley, Lori Russell-Chapin teaches a number of counseling courses, including Introduction to Human Development Counseling, Practicum, and Internship. Her current research involves writing a field experience textbook that will be published this June by Brooks/Cole. She continues to research in the area of marital distress and predictors of distress, and recently co-authored a book on conflict resolution.

She loves teaching and learning with students. Her teaching style tends to be interactive, and she frequently uses group projects. She is constantly learning with her students, and the best projects seem to be the ones in which students are involved with members in the community. She has worked with homeless youth and consulted with several agencies in the Peoria area.

Dr. Russell-Chapin was the department chair for 11 years and currently holds the position of associate dean of the College of Education and Health Sciences. She maintains a private counseling practice on a part-time basis where she focuses on couples and individual concerns.
