Carrie J. Corriveau Adjunct Instructor Public Health & Human Performance Carrie J. Corriveau Adjunct Instructor Public Health & Human Performance corrivcj@potsdam.edu I currently teach School Health to both undergraduate and graduate-level students, as well as Alcohol Studies. Additionally, I have also taught other courses, including Foundations of Community/Public Health, Theory in Community Health, Human Disease, Drug Studies, Environmental Health, and Program Evaluation. I have been in the Department of Public Health and Human Performance since 2008. When I am not teaching, I enjoy traveling, spending time with friends and family, listening to music, exercising, scrapbooking, and reading. I have been an educator for just over 22 years and have worked in both private and public sectors of K-12 education. Teaching has allowed me the opportunity to do what I love, while helping students work to achieve their goals. The size of the college and the close-knit feel of family and community that the SUNY Potsdam provides, makes the teaching experience and connections made, even more special.
