Dr. Lowe is the vice president for Academic Affairs. He also serves as director of the University Honors Program and a professor of American history. He teaches upper-division U.S. history electives, as well as research methods.

In addition to his administrative and teaching responsibilities, Dr. Lowe has maintained an active role in research and writing. His first book, The Kid on the Sandlot: Congress and Professional Sports was published in 1995.
