Hello. Welcome to Dr. Linda Schultz's Home Page. I am a Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry,Geosciences,and Environmental Science at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas. My office is in Room 407 of the New Science Building. My office phone number is (254)968-9143, and my e-mail address is schultz@tarleton.edu. However, I actually live in Brownwood, which is about 60 miles south of Stephenville, so you may have better luck reaching me on my mobile phone at (325)642-0490 or at home (late) at (325)643-1384. I do not mind calls at home or on the road, but these are toll calls from Stephenville, so you might be better off to use the e-mail if you need to leave a message for me.
On the personal front, I live on a farm with my husband Mike and we raise Arabian horses. We also have a dog, three goats, two geese, and about a million cats. Our daughter, Michele, is a TSU graduate who is currently a Medical Technologist at John Peter Smith Hospital in Ft. Worth, and our son, Steven, is a geology graduate of Tarleton.
I teach the following courses, and have attached the most recent syllabi
and schedules. Please feel free to call or e-mail me if you wish further
information. (always under construction)
