Mike Limberg joined NCSSM in January 2025 as Instructor of Mentorship and Research on our Durham campus. Mike grew up near St. Paul, Minnesota. After completing his B.A. at Gordon College in Massachusetts, he moved to Boulder, Colorado, to complete an M.A. degree in history at the University of Colorado and then back to New England for a Ph.D. at the University of Connecticut. His research focused on the history of American foreign relations with the Middle East, particularly during the early 20th century. Mike also taught courses on U.S. history, foreign relations, and the history of human rights at the University of Connecticut for several years while completing his dissertation. In 2018 he transitioned to work with high schoolers and moved to a school in Fayetteville, N.C., where he taught history and research courses. When not teaching, Mike enjoys board games, taking his dogs for walks in the woods, singing in community choir, and spending time with his wife and two daughters.
