After undergraduate study at four institutions of higher learning in three countries, interrupted several times for less formal study and two children, Bonnie Buettner received a B.A. from Fresno State. Finding the investigation of literature more satisfying than tracking down dust bunnies, she earned an M.A. in German from UCLA (1973) and (at length) a Ph.D. in German Literature from Cornell University (1984). For the next twelve years, she honed her time management and people skills while first serving as Dean of Seniors in the College of Arts and Sciences and then as Fellowship Coordinator and Arts and Sciences Career Advisor -- while also teaching in the German Studies Department. She is now full time Senior Lecturer in German Studies. Her academic interests include medieval and modern literature, especially feminist issues, and she enjoys playing the cello, watercoloring and gardening.
