Raised in Southern California, John Loge earned his B.A. and M.A. in English at the University of California at Los Angeles. He has worked in education ever since, over the years teaching students from 5 to 21 years old, directing programs, and creating curricula. After a year at his grandfather’s cabin the San Bernardino Mountains in 1991, he began at Yale as Dean of Timothy Dwight College where he was once the Writing Tutor. As dean he also teaches a course, Writing and the Environment, which arose from his years of camping and hiking. For some time, for instance, he was a hike leader for the Appalachian Mountain Club, in particular for the hiking camp called August Camp. For that Camp he wrote a chronology of its first 100 years and is now especially known in Timothy Dwight College for his weekly reflections (with a touch of nature) that he emails to the students in the College. What currently give him the great pleasure are his children and grandchildren, who live in Connecticut and Washington, D.C.
