Instructor of English

Pat Heintzelman

Teaching at ذكذكتسئµ University for twenty-one years, I have seen many changes in students and the educational process. I earned a B.A. in History and an M.A. in English from ذكذكتسئµ University. I have taught freshman composition classes at ذكذكتسئµ Institute of Technology and ذكذكتسئµ State College-Port Arthur, and I also gained experience teaching technical writing, professional presentation, humanities, and similar courses.

Eventually, I became interested in the shared governance side of working at a university. I have served on the LU Faculty Senate for most of my years at ذكذكتسئµ University. Since joining Texas Faculty Association in the early 2000s, I have served in every position of leadership in the LU chapter. After serving as vice president for nine years, I am now serving as chapter president. In other faculty advocacy work, I helped to establish and serve as president of the LU chapter of AAUP. I attend and speak at the twice-yearly state meetings and have met and worked with faculty from many other universities. I have served the College of Arts and Sciences at LU by chairing the Dean's Advisory Council for twelve consecutive years. We work on special projects assigned to us by the dean, and we host her awards ceremony every spring. I have also chaired numerous committees at LU and enjoy working with faculty and for faculty interests.
