To his students Dr. Kris Phillips is more than just an assistant professor of philosophy at SUU. He is engaging, hilarious, personable and is always there for them in and out of the classroom.

During his first few years at college, a professor made a huge difference in his life. Now he works to pay it forward.

After changing his major about seven times, and taking a large variety of general education classes, he ended up in a logic course. “Up to that point there was no clear path for my future,” said Phillips. “But my logic professor changed everything for me. He was fun, quirky and I loved the subject.”

He asked how he could take similar classes, so his professor advised him to join the philosophy program. “I started to enjoy school, which was new for me, because I’d found my passion,” said Phillips. “In fact, I liked school so much I ended up in it forever, because now I’m teaching.”

Phillips earned his B.S. at Central Michigan University and his M.A. at Western Michigan University, both in philosophy. He then joined the SUU faculty in 2014 shortly after earning his Ph.D. in philosophy at the University of Iowa.
