Welcome
to my webpage.
My name is Paul
Schvaneveldt (pronounced
Swan-a-velt). I have been a faculty
member in the Department of
Child and Family Studies for
11 years.
It is a great place
to work and I love what I
do.
Some of my personal
hobbies include traveling,
hiking, gardening,
and skiing.
Growing up, I
lived in many places
including Florida,
Minnesota, North Carolina,
and Utah.
I really enjoyed the
beaches in North Carolina
and love Utah’s mountains.
I enjoy spending
time with my family.
My wife (Rachel) and
I have been married for over
20 years and we have five
children.
My oldest child is a
freshman at Weber State
University and my youngest
is in Kindergarten.
We enjoy doing
activities together.
My entire family
lived in Ecuador a couple of
years ago while I was a
Fulbright Scholar there.
My children had the
experience (and adventure)
of living in a developing
country and experiencing a
new culture.
While in Ecuador, we
had the opportunity to
volunteer in orphanages
taking care of children. It
was a great experience and
we loved working with these
children.
I
really enjoy working in the
Department of Child and
Family Studies.
The faculty and staff
are great people to work
with.
I think our biggest
strength is that we
genuinely care about our
students and their success.
According to
RateMyProfessor, the faculty
in the Department of Child
and Family Studies are rated
as being the nicest faculty
on campus! (Even though this
rating is not 100%
scientific, we are proud of
it).
We truly care about
our students and hope to
contribute to their success.
I have an open door
policy and would welcome
students to visit at any
time.
