Bill Carpenter Retiring

Bill Carpenter, adjunct professor of English, is retiring from JCCC after more than 33 years–that’s teaching 101 consecutive fall, spring, and summer semesters!  Before coming to JCCC, Carpenter taught at the University of Kansas, Kansas State University, and Fort Hays State University.  He received his master’s degree from the University of Arkansas and did Ph.D. work at Kansas State University.  Eventually, Carpenter intends to move with his wife back to Louisburg, his hometown where he grew up.  According to Carpenter, “My acquaintances and colleagues at JCCC are the high point of my academic career, along with meeting my wife in CC 323.”  Though he will not have email once he retires, he can be reached at P.O. Box 134, Louisburg, KS 66053.
