Dr. Ernest Pascoe teaches Organic Chemistry I and II. In addition, he teaches Survey of Chemistry, Principles of Chemistry, and Global Issues, depending on the semester. He received his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of the West Indies in 1994 with a double major in chemistry and biochemistry. Dr. Pascoe’s Ph.D. was obtained at Clark Atlanta University in 2003. The focus of his work was the study of the properties of high temperature polyimides and their decomposition process. Dr. Pascoe’s experience centered around synthesizing organic molecules and using organic monomers to synthesize polyimides. From the standpoint of the classroom, Dr. Pascoe has an interest in studying factors, such as specific prerequisite knowledge, that influence the performance of students in Organic Chemistry. He is also keen on exploring and utilizing different support tools to help in the delivery of chemistry content.

Dr. Holly Nance earned her PhD in Biological Sciences from Clemson University, focusing on population genetics and the application of these data for conservation management. Since teaching at Coastal for the past five years, she continue to mentor undergraduate students applying molecular tools to study epigenetics, eDNA, and seafood mislabeling. She encourages her research students to develop their own questions and projects related to conservation genetics. More recently, Nance mentored students in a bioinformatics course as part of the SEA PHAGES (Science Education Alliance-Phage Hunters Advancing Genomics and Evolutionary Science) Program. In this course, students annotate the genome of a novel bacteriophage discovered by Coastal students, determining the position and function of purported genes. Nance also teaches Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics and introductory biology courses. Her goal is to help students learn practical skills they can apply in any molecular biology lab, and gain experience with genomic and proteomic software and databases.

Ms. Noble earned her M.A. in Mathematics Education from the University of Central Arkansas.

Dr. Morris is a Georgia native and a graduate of the Ph.D. program at Auburn University. His areas of specialty are Early America and Native American culture. His research focuses on Native American women and Scots-Irish fur traders in the colonial backcountry. He is the author of three books, one on the Southeastern Indian fur trade, another on Scots-Irish fur traders, and the third on George Galphin and the transformation of the Georgia-South Carolina backcountry. He is currently working on a manuscript about a Cherokee Rebellion during the American Revolution. He is a long time member of the Georgia Association of Historians and South Carolina Historical Association.
