A wife, mother of two adult children, and graduate of Baylor University, Anne Pharr has taught English and First Year Seminar at Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville, Tennessee, since 1998. In addition to her teaching responsibilities, Anne served for eight years as program coordinator for the College's First Year Seminar course. She also collaborated with colleagues on the development of a college-wide initiative, Partners for Student Potential (PSP), which worked to deepen and broaden faculty and staff awareness of the challenges and strengths represented by at-risk students. Recently, she completed Renovaré's Institute for Christian Spiritual Formation. Besides enjoying family and friends, Anne's passions include heartfelt conversations, writing, music, reading, exercise, Henry the dog, and a great cup of coffee — preferably first thing each morning.
