Dr. Kenneth Louis Carriveau, Sr., received his Doctorate of Philosophy in Educational Communications and Technology from the University of Pittsburg (Pittsburg, Pennsylvania). In 1968 he worked as a Librarian at the University of Guam’s RFK Library; and held various faculty and administrative positions during his twenty-six (26) year tenure at the University of Guam. Throughout his career at UOG, he served as an Acquisitions Librarian, Dean of Library Services, and taught Library Science, Audio-Visual Education, and Foundations in Education at the College of Education.
He later served as UOG’s first Institutional Researcher because of his service as the University’s Accreditation Liaison Officer. As Dean of Library Services, Dr. Carriveau agreed to house a telecommunications project that established distance education and communication within Micronesia, and it has since developed into UOG’s current TADEO program. Dr. Carriveau then transferred to the Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center (MARC) to work on the Micronesian Area Tropical Agriculture Bibliographic Database Project and from 1976 to 1979, he served simultaneously as Dean of Library Services and Director of MARC.
In 1988, Dr. Carriveau retired as Professor Emeritus of Library Science; and after his retirement from the University of Guam and his involvement with other organizations, Dr. Carriveau continued to stay involved with the University through his association with the Society of Professors Emeritus and Retired Professors, and by writing grant proposals for the Richard Flores Taitano Micronesian Area Research Center.
