Tom Bowie has delighted in teaching undergraduates for almost 40 years, at the United States Air Force Academy, at Brown University, and for the past two decades at Regis. In his spare time at Regis, he directed the Regis College Honors Program for 10 years, then served as the Dean of Regis College for 7 years, and the interim dean of the Anderson College of Business for a year. But his first love has always been teaching, where he has taught courses on meaning and justice in our integrative core, shared Stories from Wartime with hundreds of students, veterans, and community members, and introduced the idea of a university to a decade of entering honors students.
Tom "retired" to Regis after 28 years in the Air Force. A national expert on the literature of war, much of his research focuses on the human dimension of conflict, on personal narratives that bear witness to the horrors of modern war, and on the lifelong journey toward reconciliation that inevitably follows such conflicts. In addition to his work with the stories of veterans, Tom’s more recent publications explore the power of storytelling and redemption in the writing of Andre Dubus and Annie Dillard.
