Steven Hayduk,

Professor of Psychology

Background

I completed my undergraduate degree in psychology at my hometown of Edmonton. I then served for several years in the Canadian military (in military intelligence) and then in the Salvation Army, where I served as pastor/social worker, before I went back to school to earn my graduate degrees in psychology at McGill university. From McGill, my family and I moved to South Carolina, USA, where I taught as a professor of psychology at a small Christian university until I was called to Briercrest. My wife and I met at the Salvation Army Training College/Seminary. We have two adult sons, one of whom lives with us. Our other son works as a software developer in Toronto.
