Jill Biden to continue teaching
By Foon Rhee, Globe Staff
Jill Biden will continue to teach even as she carries out official duties
as Vice President Joe Biden's wife, the White House announced this
afternoon.
She returned to the classroom today, working as an adjunct professor at
Northern Virginia Community College, where she will teach two English
courses this semester.
“I am thrilled to return to the classroom to continue working with
community college students, whom I greatly admire and enjoy teaching,”
Biden said in a statement. "I have always believed in the power of
community colleges to endow students with critical life skills, and I am
pleased that I can make a difference by doing what I love to do, teaching
people who are excited to learn.”
Biden has taught for more than 28 years, including 15 years at Delaware
Technical & Community College and before that in the Delaware public
schools.
