HANCOCK, MI - The Suomi College of Arts & Sciences has welcomed William Knoblauch to its faculty roster as an assistant professor of history.

This fall Knoblauch is teaching American History, World History, and the History of Rock & Roll. In future special courses, he will examine the diverse thematic and regional aspects of American and world history.

Knoblauch notes that his teaching philosophy is student-centered and he appreciates that every student is unique in their talents and abilities.

"I strive to facilitate a student's intellectual journey, and work to ensure that thrives in class, continues outside the classroom, and endures well after graduation," he says.

Knoblauch has bachelor of art degrees in business/economics and history from Northland College, a master's of art in the history of the American West from Northern Arizona University, and a Ph.D. in 20th century American history from Ohio University.
