Avery Point Academic Center Supervisors

 

Bobby

My name is Bobby Dolan and I am the Q course coordinator at the Academic Center. I started as an Assistant Professor in Residence at Avery Point in 2020. My research interests are in numerical algorithms for fluid-fluid interaction and math education. I love showing students how math can be applied to the real world! Dennis

I’m the writing coordinator for the Avery Point campus, so you can come talk to me about First-Year Writing, W courses, and creative writing. I’m an Associate Professor of English, specializing in American Literature, Popular Culture, and Writing Program Administration. I like to write about detective fiction, science fiction, and utopia.

My name is Sarah and I am an Academic Specialist. I graduated from Avery Point in 2017 and I’ve most recently gotten my Master’s degree in English from NYU. In addition to teaching English 1010 at UConn, I also teach at Three Rivers Community College. I love reading (I have a weakness for Young Adult literature), writing (academically and creatively), photography, and painting.

I’m the Academic Center manager and I’ve been teaching English at Avery Point since 2011. At the Academic Center, I’m especially interested in the ways that tutoring supports students in their academic work and beyond, and helps Avery Point students transition into college life. My research interests are in tutoring centers, Irish and American literature, gender studies, and music, and I’ve taught American, British, and Irish literature, first year writing, and other courses here at Avery Point and at Three Rivers Community College, the Coast Guard Academy, and Boston College. Off campus, I’m into running, hiking, and keeping up with my kid.
