Vosburg came to Penn State with thoughts of spending his career teaching. He did teach (for a while), but these days he works in academic technology at Carleton College, helping faculty think through AI and teaching with technology when it suits their pedagogical and design goals. It’s still teaching of a sort, just from a different angle than the one Vosburg trained for.

In this talk, I’ll look back at the route from language teaching to my current role, including the forks in the road where things could have gone differently. I’ll also talk about the skills from graduate school that carried over into this work, and share some thoughts on building two academic careers in one household. Come for the career story, stay for the 8-bit graphics.
