Please welcome Stephan Smith to the Wiscasset Public Library staff.

 

Stephan’s appreciation for the valuable perspectives offered through getting to know other cultures comes from a long history of living, studying, and working with those from various backgrounds, both internationally and in the United States. With over twenty years of experience preparing students for admission to elite colleges and universities, Stephan has demonstrated a passion for sharing his understanding of language and historical studies and views multilingualism and knowledge of history and cultures as a means of building peace amongst peoples of different nations and backgrounds.

 

Upon completing secondary school in England, Stephan returned to the United States to complete his bachelor’s degree at California State University in San Diego and a master’s degree in Education from Northeastern University in Boston. Whilst pursuing graduate study, his commitment to outstanding academic scholarship was recognized through his induction into the prestigious Sigma Epsilon Rho Honor Society. Following graduate study, Stephan returned to England to further pursue his passion for cultural and historical studies by earning a qualification in History from the University of Oxford, Department of Continuing Education.
