George Steckley

George Steckley is a long-time Knox professor. He will probably die while teaching someday far in the future, as he swears he will never retire. He teaches European history and a historian's workshop focusing on Winston Churchill. He unfortunately has an affinity for early morning classes on the third floor of Old Main, but is so well-loved that even his first period classes are usually full. Thanks to his calming voice, dry sense of humor, and devotion to primary source research, students either adore Professor Steckley or find him an effective sleep aid, and sometimes both. Adoration is most common.

While he would probably be okay with it, no students call him George. He is Professor Steckley, or just plain Steckley.

Steckley is fond of gardening, and will often use his garden as a metaphor to explain complicated historical situations or customs. His favorite books are gardening books and The Joys of Sex.

He should really teach the class Agriculture 103: Turnip Production, next fall.
