Bio:

Mr. Anthony Helms works with honors students in the Haworth College of Business and supports students with Honors Thesis Advising. 

Mr. Helms is the assistant dean and director of advising for the Lee Honors College. He earned his A.A. degree in criminal justice from Spartanburg Methodist College in 2002 and his B.A. and M.A. in anthropology from WMU in 2007 and 2014. As a WMU undergraduate student, he worked in the Writing Center and Academic Skills Center on campus and in graduate school he worked as a teaching assistant and served as president for the Teaching Assistant鈥檚 Union. He began his advising career in 2010 with the College of Education and Human Development before joining the honors college in 2013.

Mr. Helms鈥 academic interests include basically anything remotely connected to the social sciences, including anthropology, sociology, primatology, gender, race and ethnicity, and religious studies. Away from campus, Mr. Helms enjoys nature, sports, and family time with his wife, two sons, and two dogs.

Mr. Helms' favorite dinosaurs in WMU鈥檚 Dino Park are the Utahraptors. According to Mr. Helms, 鈥淩aptors, just like us in the honors college, are all about community. While theirs is focused on wreaking bloodthirsty carnage on the world, ours is committed to supporting some of WMU鈥檚 most driven students to achieve their goals and graduate prepared to make an impact in their field and on the world. So, we are a lot alike.鈥
