professor of history and educator for 36 years, Dr. Sarah Malino concluded her career at Guilford College in Greensboro, N.C. Passionate about her country’s heritage, she demonstrates an expertise in 19th century history, with a specialization in the history of race, class, gender and ethnicity in the

United States. She also maintained significant interest in economic and business history, labor history, gender history, and foreign policy. “Teaching is a highly labor-intensive, intellectually and physically demanding labor of love. One must enjoy interaction with students and take pleasure in their progress, and be willing to work closely with them to assist them in taking their next intellectual steps,” Dr. Malino says. She also adds that she became involved in her profession through her first job after college, which was teaching history and philosophy in a small private high school in New York. Realizing that many teachers spent too much time disciplining and not going into sufficient depth regarding subject matter, Dr. Malino made it her professional goal to educate students on the need to conceptualize the multiple narratives of U.S. history in order to fully understand their impact and significance in the world today.

The highlight of Dr. Malino’s career was what moved her the most on a daily basis: her relationships with her students, as well as with her distinguished and wise colleagues. In a private Quaker institution focused primarily on teaching, both her students and colleagues taught her about new perspectives on history, on Quakerism, on institutional governance by consensus and on working for social change. They shared their lives with her and she is much richer for their many gifts.

Dr. Malino holds a Doctor of Philosophy in American history from Columbia University, a Master of Philosophy in history from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from Wellesley College. In recognition of her professional excellence, she was distniguished as a 2016 Professional of the Year and Top Female Professional by Worldwide Branding. Now retired, Dr. Malino looks to the future with the hope of advising young education professionals.
