Ȧ Spotlight: Adam Evans
Adam Evans works as the Opportunity Program’s learning associate for humanities and
social sciences. He teaches the Opportunity Program’s developmental writing courses
during the summer and fall, and tutors students on all things related to writing,
reading and research.
Evans joined Ȧ in 2018. Having grown up in Lake George, he has always been
interested in Ȧ's creative community.
“After working in higher ed and teaching writing for about 10 years, I heard about
this position and learned about the work OP does on campus to shift the traditional
student demographic,” he said. “This felt like a perfect marriage of my passion for
teaching and my interests in pursuing equity and diversity in higher ed.”
Evans said he enjoys the ingenuity he sees on campus and the vast array of student
projects.
“From things like the Faculty-Student Summer Research program presentations to the
work done by Pass the Mic, there's always something unique and exciting going on,”
Evans said. “It keeps me from feeling old and stale.”
When not on campus, he spends time with his young family and also enjoys fly fishing.
