Description
  • Isabella Franklin McQuesten was a Professor of Adult Education and Home Economics Education, employed at OSC from 1948 to 1974. She began her career with a salary of $4,500. She was born in 1910 in Phoenix, Arizona. She received her Bachelor of Science in Home Economics Education from the University of Arizona in 1932, and completed graduate work at the University of Arizona, Cornell University, and OSC, receiving her Master of Science in Home Economics Education and Household Administration from the latter in 1939. Her master’s thesis was titled “Student Progress in Paired Foods Classes--Grade Time Method Specified.” Before coming to OSC, she was an assistant professor in home economics education at the University of Arizona, an assistant teacher trainer, and a visiting professor/lecturer for summer sessions at various colleges, including OSC. She co-authored a number of monographs with Faye C. Jones at the University of Arizona, and published a number of articles in her field. She was an active member of student life during her undergraduate time at the University of Arizona, as a member of several organizations, including holding the presidency of Kappa Omicron Phi. She was a member of numerous vocational organizations, including the American Home Economics Association and the Arizona Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development. She was often active in designing curricula and teaching materials, and participated in such programs and boards long before coming to OSC. While at OSC, she remained deeply involved in teacher education and curriculum design, and was on several committees to that effect, including the Curriculum Committee, the Faculty Selection Committee, the Teacher Education Program for Divison, and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. She was an Associate Professor in Home Economics Education, and was granted full Professorship in 1968. In 1969, she transferred most of her focus to Adult Education. In 1974, the two heads of her departments felt it was appropriate to confer upon her joint emeritus appointments.
