Biography

          Dr. Tesseneer served as interim head of the Department of Psychology from 195?-195?. He moved on to Northern Kentucky University and retired from Northern's Psychology faculty as emeritus professor of psychology in 1970. Tesseneer accepted a one-year temporary appointment in psychology at Campbellsville University in 1991, which developed into four years of teaching psychology followed by four years in a fund-raising capacity. The occasion for the picture to the right was his being named the Campbellsville/Taylor County Chamber of Commerce Everette Lee Citizen of the Year.²
