Two other great things about Rotary Club of Millcreek: 1) It meets when teachers are available 2) Peter Ingle, Westminster College Professor is a member!

Peter Ingle graduated from WPI with a degree in Business Management in 1987. He utilized his business degree in a bank in London and at IBM in Pennsylvania. After spending some time traveling globally, he became interested in working with at-risk youth while in Pennsylvania and brought that interest to Salt Lake City.

Since arriving in Utah in 1990,he has worked for numerous school districts in Salt Lake City as both a teacher and program director. He completed his PhD in Special Education at the University of Utah in 1998 and began his career at Westminster College shortly after.

Peter has taught in the Westminster College School of Education since 1999, primarily in the area of special education. However, he has also taught courses on service learning, diversity, secondary educational methods, and the Masters Thesis course. Additionally, he has taught courses/workshops for the Faculty Technology Center on topics related to assessment, teaching with technology and eportfolios.
Peter has also been active in supporting the college community. He has served on numerous committees including the Learning goals Strategic Planning committee and the College/University Task force. He has served as both the chair of the Faculty Senate and Chair of the Faculty.

In other community service work, Peter was the trip leader for the Youthlinc Mexico trip to Ocotlan in 2006-2008 (pictured above with his lovely wife, Krista). This trip focused on serving individuals with special needs in the communities surrounding Ocotlan. For the past 3 years, Peter has led, along with Dr. Han Kim, groups of Westminster College  students on a trip to Thailand. These trips focus on developing global citizenship skills through work in rural villages of Kalasin and Ban Nam Hom.

Beginning in 2008, Peter began serving as the Director of the Learning Coalition, a new position in which he facilitates educational development for staff and faculty at Westminster College. As a part of that position, he has supported a number of new initiatives on campus around teaching with technology and eportfolios.

Peter also enjoys the wonderful opportunities afforded by the mountains near his home in Park City. He enjoys backcountry skiing, cycling, mountain biking, and luge.
