Biography
Maxine graduated from California University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor’s in Forensic Anthropology in 2012. She immediately enrolled at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, for graduate school. Professor Neiberg held a departmental assistantship while she was pursuing her studies. She received a Master of Arts in Anthropology in 2014 and promptly moved back to the Pittsburgh area. Since then, she has been an adjunct anthropology professor at the Community College of Allegheny County’s Allegheny campus. She also does adjunct work at Penn West California (formerly California University of Pennsylvania) and Penn State University’s Beaver Campus.
Professor Neiberg thoroughly enjoys working with the diverse student body that the urban setting brings forth. In 2017, she also successfully completed a Master's in Forensic Science and is currently pursuing her doctorate in education. In addition to teaching at CCAC, she is also an academic advisor. Professor Neiberg enjoys working with students and assisting them through each step of their academic journey. She feels that there is nothing more rewarding than seeing students complete their degrees and move on to the workforce or another institution to further their education.
Working with students in advising and hearing their stories about their educational journeys.
I love introducing students to the breadth and scope of the field of anthropology. Most students are unfamiliar with it coming out of high school, and I hope to present the information in a way that makes them want to know more about it and engage in the learning process.
I am a former athlete (volleyball) and played on an NCAA Division I “Sweet 16” team (George Mason) and a Division II “Final Four” team (Cal U).
