Dr. Cindy Handley

Associate Teaching Professor

Bio

My name is Cindy Handley, PhD, MLS(ASCP)CM, but my students sometimes call me Dr C. I've taught at the University of Southern Mississippi for 12 years, but I've been in education for over 30 years. My academic experience includes teaching in two small community colleges and two major universities. I love seeing the light bulb come on when students get a new concept. I especially like working with students in difficult situations to help them achieve academic success. I currently teach online. My basic philosophy about education is that it should be enjoyable and stimulating, but it also involves rote memorization and learning the basics (I call this pouring concrete - laying the foundation).
