Department of Psychology at Illinois State University
After 38 years of teaching thousands of students, many of them budding educators taking PSY 215 Educational Psychology, Bill Gnagey loves living a student’s life again himself. After his retirement in 1999, he takes courses at the Illinois State Senior Academy, attends an educational program called "Mornings with the Professors," writes and presents topic-centered papers, volunteers at the McLean County Nursing home, exercises daily, and travels abroad. Most important, he hangs out regularly at a local eatery with his buddies, Walt Friedhoff, Skip Lemke, and Gary Ramseyer. Bill’s one official role is that as member of the Board of Directors of the Unitarian Church, where he has long been a committed congregant.
