Therese-Marie Oeming
Instructor of English
B.A., University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
M.A.T., Oakland University, Rochester
My area of interest, Secondary Reading and Consulting, has been a focus for thirty-nine years in teaching high school English and for ten years as Adjunct Faculty at SVSU in the Reading Program. I retired from the Public Schools in 2010.
My outside interests include: visiting our three children and their families whenever we can afford a plane fare, researching family genealogy, reading, cooking, strictly-amateur painting, and playing bridge. My husband David is a practicing attorney in the area. We moved out of the city so that I could have a garden and he could have a pole barn.
Favorite moment at SVSU: The best moment in teaching comes when a student "gets it" and smiles in recognition of this achievement.
Five books Therese-Marie would want with her if marooned on a deserted island: If I were marooned on an island, I'd like to have copies of a family scrapbook, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Story of a Soul: The Autobiography of Therese of Lisieux, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, and Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child.
