Deah S. Quinlivan, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Psychology
"My primary goal as a teacher is to inspire my students to seek the highest levels of achievement. Teaching psychology courses offers many opportunities for developing and refining skills that are valued, such as a desire for knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, and an ability to communicate effectively with others through writing and speaking. I translate my enthusiasm for both learning and teaching through my high but reasonable standards I have for my students."
Dr. Quinlivan attended the University of Alabama in Huntsville where she obtained an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Experimental Psychology. She continued her education at Iowa State University, obtaining a Ph.D., in Social Psychology.
