Since graduating from Colby, Kim Parker has explored a wide range of interests. She has worked as a sports information director, received her master's in sport management from Ohio State University, and held positions as sports writer/coordinator, Web director, and high school English teacher. She received her master's in education from Boston College and now is working toward her Ph.D. in education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, specializing in education of African-American boys, reading, and multicultural literature.
In the summers Kim has worked for organizations including the Great Books Summer Program at Stanford University and the YMCA Black Achievers program in Lexington, Kentucky. She currently teaches reading, language arts, and writing at a small, all-black boys' middle school on the Urbana-Champaign campus. She is especially interested in literacy among African-American boys because so many are so disadvantaged in American society.
