Professional Colleagues
You’ve also seen our faculty members right next you, tagging bear cubs with Maine state wildlife biologists—like David Knupp and James Nelson, instructors in wildlife biology; leading adventure education and therapy program at Outward Bound School—like Nicole Caruso and Mac McInnes, program directors in adventure experience and adventure therapy; monitoring water quality in the Lake Winnecook watershed—like Dr. Emma Creaser, faculty in marine biology; or setting up a junior high school persuasive speaking program—like Pat Clark, professor in environmental humanities.

Dr. Aimee Phillippi, marine biology instructor, won two grants in early 2006 to monitor the Asian shore crab in Acadia National Park. By summer, she had enlisted Alyssa Marvel ’09, adventure education leadership, and Meg Anderson ’09, wildlife care and education, in the project. Their study serves as the baseline for future scientists charting Asian shore crab effects on green crab populations in tidal zones.

Environmental Leaders
Unity College faculty are multi-faceted environmental leaders. John Zavodny, philosophy, shepherded a group of students on a spring break trip to New Orleans for hurricane recovery assistance. And Dave Potter, fisheries, leads late-night adventures tracking local owls.

Unity College faculty members set exceptional examples for professional work. Then they challenge you to expand your world, consider new viewpoints, and collaborate with peers in programs outside your own field of study, just as they do.

Our faculty are dedicated and demanding academics, exceptional mentors, active environmental leaders, professional colleagues, and earthy environmental enthusiasts. They make Unity College the best place for you to learn—and grow.
