| Introduction | Gretchen Dee is galvanized by the prospect of bringing her ideas and experiences to the College of Chicago. After receiving her bachelor’s degree from Carleton College, Gretchen spent two years traveling around the world, eventually settling in Europe. While living in the Netherlands, she received her M.A. in Social Science from the University of Amsterdam; her thesis on contemporary conceptualizations of the astronomical universe was recently nominated as one of the most remarkable theses in the history of the ISHSS. Over the past ten years, she has worked as an English instructor on three continents, teaching both adults and children in Bangkok, Thailand and Amsterdam, Holland. After returning to the US, she has served as the director of English for Sabio Academy, where she specializes in writing instruction and has instructed several winners of prestigious essay competitions. In 2009 Gretchen became the Program Director at the College of Chicago where she also serves as the TOEFL and Advanced Integrative Instructor, helping many students to realize their dream to attend college or university in the United States. |
