Rob Wilson

Rob Wilson teaches with Arizona State University’s Faculty of Leadership & Integrative Studies, an innovative community of faculty and staff. ASU recruited Professor Wilson in 2015 to craft and teach a course for Master of Liberal Studies (MLSt) students called The Research Process. He taught that course for three years in the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences (CLAS), while adapting it to also suit the needs of the Veteran Studies certificate. When MLSt moved colleges from CLAS to the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts (CISA), Professor Wilson joined CISA’s Faculty of Leadership and Integrative Studies, the nation's largest and most innovative interdisciplinary studies program.

Professor Wilson has a bachelor's degree in theatre from ASU, a master's degree in recreation management from Western Illinois University, and a master's degree in information resources from University of Arizona. He grew up on the Jersey Shore and came to the Valley of the Sun in the 80's to try out for ASU baseball. After graduation, he spent a two-year adventure in Poland with the Peace Corps. While overseas Professor Wilson helped develop an after school center for under-privileged children; wrote a successful grant proposal to the US Congress to create a computer lab; and chartered an official Little League Baseball program in that same village with the Polish equivalent of The Little Rascals. When not teaching or at the library you may find him mountain biking, cooking and/or listening to eclectic music.
