Tore Skogseth, M.A., is a Student Success Counselor at Montcalm Community College.

Hailing from the foothills of the Norwegian mountains, this thunderous bearded Norwegian left the fjords of Norway for the cornfields of Michigan (following a brief interlude between soybean fields and refineries in Southern Illinois).

He earned his Bachelor of Arts in Family Life Education in 2004 and his Master of Arts in Counseling in 2007, both from Spring Arbor University. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Michigan. While Tore loves meeting with students, he also discovered a love for teaching. He started teaching GNST 100, Success Skills for the 21st Century, in fall 2012 and, as the department chair for the General Studies department, Skogseth has had a big influence on the development of the course.
