Meet: Mitzie Sowell














Department: Biological Sciences

How you came into this subject matter/profession: It took me a little while to figure out what I wanted to be when I grew up. As an Exercise Physiologist in Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab, I conducted a great deal of patient education. The more I taught, the more I loved it and realized that was my calling.

Favorite class to teach: That is a tough decision because I love teaching Anatomy and Physiology because I am fascinated that our body functions considering what we put into it and how we treat it. I guess I have come to love Non-Majors Biology - it is applicable to every student and it is a challenge to get non-majors interested in Biology!

How long you’ve been at PSC: That is complicated – since 2003 in some capacity.

Hobbies: Running, gardening/yard work, water sports, traveling

Favorite book/movie: The Old Man and the Sea/Steel Magnolias

Favorite place on campus: The brand new labs at the South Santa Rosa Center.

Why you joined the Union: I joined to be a part of an association that supports my profession.
