ABOUT CAROL SCHWALBE

Carol B. Schwalbe My, oh my, look at my beautiful feet.

I migrated west from Washington, D.C., after a long career at National Geographic. Before coming to ASU, I was a senior text editor for National Geographic magazine, a senior producer for nationalgeographic.com, a senior articles editor for National Geographic Traveler and an editor-writer in the National Geographic book division, where I wrote chapters for five books. I was also the assistant editor of two books and the editor of three—The Adventure of Archaeology, Our World’s Heritage and Discover America. I have a B.A. in American Studies from Smith College and an M.A. in Anthropology from George Washington University.

Nowadays, I migrate south to Tucson each weekend to spend time with my husband, who’s a research ecologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and an assistant professor at the University of Arizona. Our front yard is home to desert tortoises and box turtles, and our garage is full of snakes and Gila monsters. We also have a 19-year-old Siamese cat and two rambunctious kittens.

The great teachers I’ve known have had three things in common: deep knowledge of a subject, passion for that subject and an intense desire to communicate that knowledge and passion to others. My goal is to emulate those masters. I encourage you to think in terms of possibilities, both in school and on the job. Believe that you can do what you want to do.

ABOUT THE LOVELY AND GRACIOUS MRS. DODGE

Nancie Dodge Color camouflages a hungry visitor.

The recently crowned master of the web universe, the lovely and gracious Mrs. Dodge was born in New York before there were CDs, DVDs and really good fake IDs. Television was still in its infancy, and technology was confined to the lab, where huge hulking machines ground out what the value of pi was. My first experience with a computer—a Commodore 64—was in 1982. I hated it. It was difficult and really couldn't do much, but in the summer of 1986 I discovered the Mac and fell in love with it. The Mac helped me realize my creative potential, allowing me to blossom into the geek I am today. I love what I do and subscribe to the idea that anyone can do amazing things if they put in the time and effort, then relax and enjoy the ride.
