Randall Tessier

I obtained my G.E.D. in 1986 at the age of 36. I took my undergraduate degree at Eastern Michigan University in 1989 and got my doctorate from the University of Michigan in 1997. Starting in 1990, I worked as a Teaching Assistant (T.A.), while completing my graduate work at Michigan. In 1997, I took a Lecturer position at Michigan.

Around 2000, while working at The Sweetland Writing Center, I applied for a position with the Comprehensive Studies Program. At 70, having long protested against social injustice, and seeing CSP as a place to make a difference, I joined our program.
