About Me

Kendall completed a BA degree in German/Education at the University of Oklahoma. After graduation, he served in the U.S. Army and learned Polish and Russian at the Defense Language Institute. He taught German three years at the United States Military Academy in West Point. After military service, he began coursework at Auburn University. In 2017-18, he served as the Graduate Student Council Vice President for Student Affairs, in the spring of 2018 he was the recipient of the AU Parents’ Association Faculty and Staff Award and in the spring of 2019 he received a “More than Auburn” (service organization) Instructor Award. He was a member of the Auburn Student Veterans Association. His dissertation looked at the role of General Lucius Clay (from 1945-1949) as America’s public administrator in the U.S. zone of occupation and compare this with the public administration of the Soviet sector in what would become East Germany. At Auburn, Kendall has taught undergraduate courses in Public Personnel Administration, American Government and German.
