Former Students of Mine Who are now Professors

---

It is always great fun for a professor when his former students also become professors, because you can then continue a professional relationship with them as colleagues.  I have been very lucky in this regard.  Below you can find a list of former psychology students from my years at Knox who are now working as college professors (or at related jobs in academia), along with the place that they got their highest degrees.
