Alumni Spotlight
Julie Townley
After graduating from Clemson with a History and Secondary Education degree, Julie Townley received her M.Ed. in College Student Affairs Administration. She now works as a Community Director with Housing and Residence Life at the University of North Texas, where she puts to use the skills she learned at Clemson. The "Clemson History Department helped me grow as a student and a scholar,” Julie observes, and “I felt incredibly prepared for the level of reading, analyzing, and writing necessary for graduate level work. Reflecting on her time in Hardin Hall, Julie says her "favorite memory" was taking a World History class with Dr. Steve Marks. Dr. Marks "stood on the computer podium in the large Hardin lecture hall and called himself Steven the Great," and “in general, he made history fun" and relatable.” In fact, she used his lectures as a "model" for her own classes.
