Dr. Scott Scheer, a professor in the Department of Agricultural Communication, Education, and Leadership seems to have done it all, and then some. Earning his bachelor’s degree in geology from Louisiana Tech University, and his master’s in developmental psychology from Columbia University, Teachers College, Dr. Scheer then went to the University of Delaware to earn his Ph.D. in family studies.
Before coming to The Ohio State University in 1996, Dr. Scheer spent time working as a social worker, a graduate research and teaching assistant, and an evaluation specialist. Now as a professor in ACEL, his research focuses primarily on outreach education and youth development. Dr. Scheer also advises undergraduate and graduate students alike. Moreover, he serves as the graduate studies director in ACEL and the coordinator of the community and extension education undergraduate specialization.
Dr. Scheer’s preferred mode of transportation to get to work is his scooter, however, due to Ohio’s inclement weather during the winter months, he can only do this 8 months out of the year. Aside from being a scooter enthusiast, Dr. Scheer enjoys being a family man while also loving to travel and jog.
