Nancy Chick moved to Rice Lake in 1998 and rose through the ranks from untenured Assistant Professor to tenured (one year early) Associate Professor of English. She loves her position on this small campus, teaching small classes, and living in a small town of 8,000. Nancy especially loves being part of the larger University of Wisconsin System up here where there is no traffic, plenty of trees, free parking, and room and time to breathe. Broadly, her work directing the UW System’s Wisconsin Teaching Scholars Program and on the Board of Directors for the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (ISSOTL) allows her to stay immersed in, and have an impact on research on teaching and learning. Locally, her work with the Rice Lake Public Library allows her to connect to the community through books.
In recent years, when she is not teaching, reading, researching, working on committees, writing, editing, working with those from across the UW System, or volunteering at the public library, Nancy enjoys watching movies, reading mystery novels (Nevada Barr and Harlan Coben are her favorites), booking, enjoying the quiet, relaxing, or playing games with her husband Peter Davidson. Peter works as the graphic designer for The Chronotype, Rice Lake’s weekly newspaper.
