• In July, 1999, I became the director of learning resources. I became responsible for the operations of the campus library, the testing center, and campus computer support.
• In February, 2003, I retired from my full time position, and am once again an adjunct professor.
• Currently I also teach two other online courses: Eng 123, Writing for the World Wide Web and Eng 256, Literature of Science Fiction.
