Dr. Jonathan Howell completed a BS in Zoology at UGA in 1995. Following his undergraduate program, he worked as a certified pharmacy technician for one year before beginning graduate work at McNeese State University in Louisiana. Here he studied environmental mercury in the soil, completed a MS in Environmental Science, and (most importantly) met his wife. Immediately upon graduation from MSU, Dr. Howell began working on his Ph.D in Ecology at Old Dominion University in Virginia, which he completed in 2009 after an extended study of fungus-growing ants. During his time in Virginia, he taught at multiple physically and virtual universities, including Regent University, and had the pleasure of welcoming his only child to the world. The opportunity of teaching at Emmanuel provides him with chance to combine his love of the natural world with his love of Christ and demonstrate how the two might be united.
