Our Faculty

In addition to being skilled teachers, our faculty are often working professionals.  Their breadth of experience, combined with small class sizes, allows students to be fully engaged with the subject matter. Meet Chris Lewey, a faculty member in our Conway Region. 

Chris Lewey is a naturalist by profession and teaches biology, ecology and ornithology at GSC.  In his experiences, in the environment and in the classroom, Chris is surrounded by constant growth, as well as the effects of change.  Perhaps that’s why he loves teaching as much as being outdoors. “My students are practicing professionals coming back into the classroom.  Things do change—like the seasons, the need to advance in your job, qualify for better pay, or gain independence.  My advice for successful growth?  Build on your experiences, learn from other practicing professionals, and you’ll be rewarded for your efforts.” 

Executive Director and Founder of RAVEN Interpretive Wildlife Programs, Chris holds a Masters Degree in Environmental Studies from Antioch University.  He currently leads natural history tours for RAVEN, as well as the Maine Audubon Society, Smithsonian Study Tours, and the National Wildlife Federation.
