As proud supporters of building MLK Park we are invited to attend the Grand Opening Celebration for MLK Park.  Sunday, April 28, 2024 at 3:00, 501 Brady Street.

 

Our Davenport Bettendorf Branch was very proud of St Ambrose faculty member Dr. Regina Matheson for being recognized at the AAUW Iowa Conference as this year’s Distinguished Faculty winner.   St Ambrose has been an AAUW member school for many years.
 Her knowledge and ability in the study of statistical data merged with her sincere interest in sociology have served students and staff well.  She began speaking and publishing in 1995.

 In 2023 she co-authored The Pink Wave: Women running for office after Trump with  William W. Parsons, PhD. New York University Press.

Dr. Matheson is now the Associate Vice President of Academic Grants and Sponsored Programs and continues to teach classes in sociology, marriage and family, and methods and statistics.  This from one letter of recommendation from a student. “I’m so glad she’s being recognized for her hard work and time that she has put into being an instructor, colleague, friend, and professional.”  She made her content relevant in so many ways helping them find their way through her classes and their own life paths.
