Faculty & Staff
Kirk MacGregor Ph.D.
- Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religion
- “A hallmark of my teaching is communicating effectively the philosophical and religious concepts relevant to today’s world in ways that students find fun and easy to understand. Accordingly, I use a wide variety of learning techniques, creatively mixing lectures, discussions, games, group work, videos, and music to reinforce course material. Blending learning techniques ensures that whatever each student’s particular learning style is, that style is tapped, such that a diverse community of students learn the same material in different ways.”
