Professor of Sociology
Background
Bill Lockhart is a professor of sociology at NMSU-A, teaching here since the fall semester of 1995. A late bloomer, Lockhart began his higher education at the age of 44 at El Paso Community College. He graduated from UTEP with a BA in sociology and anthropology in 1993 and an MA from UTEP in sociology in 1995.
Lockhart offers a variety of courses in sociology, including Introductory Sociology, Contemporary Social Problems, Sex and Gender, Marriage and Family, Death and Dying, and Human Sexuality. He describes his teaching style as:
Student friendly. I am a strong advocate for students, and I believe that we should all, faculty, staff, and administration, remember that our entire purpose here is to serve the students. That does not mean that we must give away grades or concede to student demands, but we need to ask at literally every turn, “How does what I am doing fit into student needs?”
I am an informal person, and I prefer to be called “Bill” by students, faculty, staff, and any other human beings. I maintain an optimistic outlook and believe good teaching requires truly caring about my students. NMSU-A has provided me with a wonderful working environment in the past, and I believe it will do so in the future.
