Dr. Kyle Livie is Associate Professor of History at Ohlone College. He has worked with high school and college students for over 15 years, through teaching and mentoring students at a variety of institutions, including San Francisco Sate, Cal State Monterey, UC Berkeley’s Early Academic Outreach Program, and UC Berkeley’s successful Summer Bridge program.
