President Mannoia on Faith at Greenville CollegeDr. V. James Mannoia, Jr. assumed his role as 10th president of Greenville College on January 1, 1999. He came to Greenville from Houghton College in Houghton, NY, where he had served as academic vice president and dean of the college since 1993. With extensive backgrounds in two very different areas, science and philosophy, Dr. Mannoia brings to the presidency a unique perspective on higher education, administration and teaching.

Dr. Mannoia has local connections. After earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from MIT in Boston, he attended St. Louis University and earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in Philosophy from Washington University in St. Louis, all during the 1970s. He was a graduate fellow in Philosophy at SLU and a Reichenbach Fellow at Washington University. Dr. Mannoia also taught part-time at Greenville College from 1972 to 1974.

During his professional career Dr. Mannoia has held assistant professorships in both Physics and Philosophy, as well as full professorships at Houghton and Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA. He has also served as department chair, academic dean, and academic vice president.

Dr. Mannoia's areas of administrative interest include character development, student development, cross-cultural international relations, and application in an educational setting of scriptural and theological concepts. His academic interests include Philosophy of Science, Process Metaphysics, and Philosophy of Education.

He has written numerous articles for professional journals and popular periodicals, and has authored two books, What Is Science: An Introduction to the Structure and Methodology of Science (1980, University Press, Washington, D.C.) and Christian Liberal Arts: An Education That Goes Beyond (2000, Rowman & Littlefield).

Dr. Mannoia grew up in the Free Methodist tradition and is an ordained elder in this denomination.

Dr. Mannoia and his wife, Ellen, have been married for more than 25 years. They have two grown children.
