William H. Jack, Professor of Psychology
Professor Jack has taught at Franklin Pierce University since September 1971. Prior to that time, he attended Valparaiso University, Western Michigan University, and Dartmouth College. He also worked as a Staff Psychologist VIII at Norman Beatty State Mental Hospital (Westville, Indiana) and as an Associate Research Scientist/Engineer in the Manned Life Sciences Unity at Honeywell¹s Systems and Research Division (Roseville, Minnesota). His interest in industrial psychology led him to work at a small Wall Street firm during his last one-year sabbatical. Professor Jack started as a broker trainee and was Executive Vice President of the firm when he returned to teaching at the end of the sabbatical. Professor Jack feels his academic experience and broad liberal arts background helped him to succeed with ease in a business that many people find difficult. He took a couple of undergraduate business courses early in his career at Franklin Pierce and they proved invaluable in his role as an executive in the Wall Street firm. While Professor Jack¹s specialty is in perception and parapsychology, he has taught social psychology, educational psychology, learning, systems and theories of psychology, and industrial psychology. Usually he teaches perception, introduction to psychology, statistics, research methods, introduction to parapsychology and experimental parapsychology.
"I have taught at Franklin Pierce since 1971. As a graduate student at Dartmouth College, I gained an appreciation for the peace and beauty of life in New Hampshire. I applied for a position at only one college and was fortunate enough to be hired. At Franklin Pierce we have the opportunity as faculty to teach a wide variety of courses. I have an extensive background in industrial psychology, sensation, perception, cognitive psychology, and parapsychology. If you take Statistics or Research Methods in Psychology at Franklin Pierce very likely you will take the course from me. If you were a freshman in academic year 1994-95, you may have taken my introduction to psychology course or my freshman Integrated Curriculum course.
