PERSONAL:
Danette (Danny) is married to Scott Cagnet, Rochester College Director of CEL Operations, and they have two little girls, Kendall and Keeton. Just before moving to Rochester Hills, Danny worked as a missionary on a team in Jinja, Uganda, East Africa with John and Sara Barton. Danny enjoys discussing her international travel experiences in Qatar, Egypt, East Africa, Europe, and Jamaica.  Her academic passion centers around helping students develop leadership and communication skills that will help them stand out in the competitive business environment they will enter. When her busy little ones give her the gift of “down time,” she enjoys trying new recipes, crafting, reading, and planning parties or events.
