Tim J Pemrich

Tim holds a B.S. in Philosophy with an emphasis in Ethics and Epistemology from The University of Wisconsin. He also minored in psychology. With this background, Tim has taken his talents for crisis management and critical organization through multiple employment fields. Tim has worked as a teacher for the Menasha Joint School District, a Technical Support Specialist for a streaming movie service, an exterminator, and in commercial insurance all before coming to Lawrence.

Aside from teaching for 2 years, Tim was also a volunteer camp counselor for a decade and taught guitar basics through the Boys and Girls Brigade. Tim comes to this campus with an eye for improving the department as he has always worked to do in each field he entered before this, but he also seeks to improve the overall engagement of the department with the student body. Next time you see him, feel free to wave Tim down, have a chat, and share a little about yourself. Tim wants every student to understand that Campus Safety is here not as a basic security service, but as a safe space for everyone in need.

In his spare time, Tim likes to visit parks with his son, host or attend board game nights with friends and family, get into overly critical debates about the artistic merit or philosophical messages in films, or play way too much Magic the Gathering. Lately, Tim has taken up cycling for relaxation and transportation and can often be found patrolling on bike when the weather allows.
