#FacultyFriday: Dr. Theresa Ast, committed to history
|
|
Dr. Theresa Ast began her college career when her youngest son started first grade. Since then, Ast has committed her life to continuously learning about and teaching history, a subject she values and finds important.
Ast's parents played a big role in her values, as they inspired her studies and the way she carries herself, saying they have always been great for her.
Now a Reinhardt faculty member of 20 years, Ast still enjoys connecting with her students in the small class setting. Not only does she make connections with them during the semester, but she said the environment Reinhardt creates allows her to keep in touch with past students long after graduation.
