Mr. Edward Boyd

Visiting Instructor

Ed teaches Educational Psychology and Contemporary Issues in Education on the undergraduate level and Philosophy of Education and Human Sexuality at the graduate level. He also supervises graduate-level Independent Research Projects.  Ed is Education Minor Advisor and Admissions Liasion.  He is a graduate of St. Lawrence University (B.S. 1972 and M.Ed. 1977).  He taught psychology at Mater Dei College for many years where he received awards for his teaching.  His first career was in the public justice field where among other duties he was a supervisor of family counseling services.  Ed has done additional graduate work in the psychology of violence and in thanatology among other areas of study.

Ed is an avid wild-berry picker, a trout fisherman, and an aficionado of Adirondack North Country history and lore. He believes that change in education is always one or both of two things, absolutely essential or absolutely inevitable. He wants St. Lawrence graduate teachers, counselors, and educational leaders to be in the forefront of that change-making.

"It is an absolute joy to teach future teachers, counselors, and administrators.  Their influence is far-reaching; it's very rewarding to be a part of that influence.  If any of you potential SLU students out there would like to talk about a career in education, please contact me."
