Susan (Sue Jaye)'s Story
Note from Susan: It has been a long time since 1965 and being Sue Jaye Punzel and editor of the school paper, a contributor to the literary journal (used loosely probably), and being in Mrs. Weigel's 12th grade homeroom. I went on to Armstrong, taught for three years at Calvary in Savannah, and then headed off to graduate school at Florida State. A few years later, with Ph.D. in French history (French Revolution/Napoleon and women's and gender studies), I joined the faculty at Tift College in Forsyth, Georgia. In the meanwhile, I married Ron Conner who was employed at the Centers for Disease Control. Tift unfortunately closed in 1987, and I found a new position at Central Michigan University. There, I earned tenure...Expand for more
(again) and moved into the position of department chair and ultimately Associate Dean of the College of Humanities, Social& Behavioral Sciences. After 14 years, we moved to Florida Southern College in Lakeland, Florida where I was Vice-President of Academic Affairs and where my Mum joined us during her last years. Ron and I are both mid-westerners, so we moved back to Michigan when the job at Albion College opened. I have been professor of history and Provost since 2008 here. So, I retired as of July 1, and the faculty gave me a plane ticket to Paris, where Ron and I will spend Christmas and New Years. We don't downhill ski much any more, but we love cross-country skiing and sailing (we have lots of seasons here!).
