The Board of Trustees of Colby-Sawyer College grants tenure to longstanding faculty members who have demonstrated excellence in teaching, service to the college, and scholarship. Andover resident Harvey Pine was among the faculty members so honored at the May meeting of the Board.

Professor of Environmental Studies Harvey Pine is an expert in climate change, geology, and aquatics. He engages his students in active learning, from observing the formations of the White Mountains National Forest to researching the diverse marine species of Martha’s Vineyard.

Professor Pine’s service in the Peace Corps in rural Zambia informs his role as adviser to Colby-Sawyer’s African Student Association. He joined the faculty in 2008 and received the Jack Jensen Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2014. He earned a BS from Muhlenberg College and an MS and PhD from Auburn University.
