Faculty Profile
Dr. William Palmer
Departments: English
Although William Palmer stuttered throughout his childhood, he developed a love for words that continues to this day.
“Stuttering was a wound in my life, but inside this wound I found a gift — the ability to write and the ability to teach writing,” the professor of English says.
