KIMBER QUINNEY

Classes: Teaches in both the History and Global Studies Departments.

“With respect to history, I mostly teach U.S. since 1865 (History 131), but I also teach U.S. foreign policy (History 349). I teach Global Studies 300 usually once a year. This semester, I share a special cohort of students with Danielle McMartin (in the Global Education Office). Our ‘Global Learning Community’ consists of a group of 40 or so freshmen. “We have a lot of fun,” Quinney said.

Campus Involvement:

• New advisor for the History Major with the single-subject social sciences option. “This is a History B.A. for students who want to be high school teachers. It’s a great program for students who like history and who want to teach at the secondary level,” Quinney said.

• Co-Director of the Global Studies Program . “We’re working hard to grow the program and to increase student interest in global learning—so, spread the word,” Quinney explained.

• Also sits on different committees around campus.

• Mentor in Faculty Mentoring Program.

Extras: “I am married to a really nice guy and we’ve got two great kids. So, much of my free time is happily spent hanging out with them. I love to walk my dog on the beach…enjoy a run every now and then and I think I might be addicted to hot yoga. LOVE the yoga!” Quinney answered.
