I joined the faculty of California State University, Chico in August 1973 and retired in May 2005. This is my last semester of participating in FERP (Faculty Early Retirement Program) which allowed me to teach full-time for a single semester since August 2005. Over the years 1975->1977 I was the Social Science Coordinator for the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences and in 1977 I was granted tenure and was also promoted to Associate Professor. In fall 1977 I became the Associate Dean in The Center for Regional and Continuing Education at CSU, Chico, a position I held from 1977-to-1988. In 1982 I was promoted to Professor. I resigned from my Administrative Position in July 1988 and returned to full-time teaching in Fall 1989. In 1994 students selected me for Honorary Membership in the Chico Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma (National Honor Society) and for the years 1997-to-1999 I was selected to be one of five "Master Teachers" of California State University, Chico.
