Holly Greene

Global Expert in Equine Research and Altitude Effects

Holly M. Greene has been working in higher education for over 3-decades. Her background includes 20 years as an equine research lab manager, technician for the university livestock veterinarian, and adjunct faculty supporting equine educational courses at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Holly received her M.S. degree from Cal Poly Pomona studying the effects of high altitude (3800 meters) on respiratory gases, pulmonary artery pressures and acid-base balance in horses. She was part of a team from Cal Poly Pomona that studied high altitude effects in burros and mules. Ms. Greene enjoys mentoring undergraduate students on equine research encompassing a whole animal physiology model approach.

Holly is very knowledgeable on USDA Animal Welfare regulations for cattle, goats, horses, sheep, and swine. Ensuring both animals and students are safe, and the welfare of the animals is paramount for any class or research activity.

Teaching philosophy: The role of a teacher in students’ lives is a significant one. If students are taught how to learn in a positive environment this will encourage future continuing education and knowledge. Teaching impacts the lives of so many and demands nothing less than best efforts. Student success is not just measured within the classroom and her teaching extends well beyond the confines of the classroom. For many students, there are powerful lessons learned with informal discussions. Sharing with peers and working on problems during (or outside) office hours is very beneficial. Helping students understand the invaluable ability to think critically is part of student success.
