Faculty & Staff
Passion with purpose
Genuine. Supportive. Ready to open doors. You get all that and more as you interact with the Educational Psychology, Foundations & Leadership (EPFLS) faculty and staff.
Across all of our disciplines, we share the experience of years in our fields. We’re actively engaged in professional discourse at the local, regional, national, even international levels. We regularly publish and present on topics such as:
- Improving student behavior and mental health
- Standards-based grading
- Forgiveness
Our passion has purpose. We’re here to encourage your own efforts to learn, to research, to publish and to present. Overall, to grow and succeed.
Making an Impact
Tim Gilson had a solid career as a teacher, coach and leader. Looking to make a larger impact, he earned his doctorate. “Things worked out very well! I now get to use my background and experience as principal and help train and mentor aspiring administrators.”
Keeping a Student Connection
“I attempt to do everything that I do for our students to make sure that they have a great experience while they are here and that they are set up for success after they graduate.”
After more than 20 years in housing and residence life, David “Schmiddy” found another path to maintain his passion for working with students. He now leads the postsecondary education: student affairs program.
