After seventeen years at St. Edward's University Dr. Quinn is one of our greatest successful experiments. He teaches freshman biology for non-majors, and Genes, Organisms, Populations for freshman science majors. Dr. Quinn is known for his soft spoken enthusiasm about ecology and zest for life, or anything living that is.
Success is dependent on the students.
A student of anything has to really love what they do. I love being a biologist. Dr. Quinn has studied the ecosystem of the Magnolian Beech Tree, as well as natural prairie grass that had never been plowed in the Virginian Forest. He also took up residence in a 17,000 acre arboretum while studying native bird populations. Dr. Quinn's passion for science illustrates for his students what makes people happy.
