Kyle Gammenthaler is a Lecturer and the Program Manager of Social Impact Initiatives at Mays Business School. In addition to managing the Certificate in Nonprofit and Social Innovation and Strategic Philanthropy Programs, Kyle is intimately involved in the development of new and innovative service-learning initiatives at Mays Business School. Every semester, Kyle teaches multiple courses on the nonprofit sector, resource development, and strategic philanthropy. In addition to his regular teaching and administrative duties, Kyle serves as a Faculty/Staff Advisor for three campus-wide student organizations (180 Degrees Consulting, Net Impact, and Brotherhood of Christian Aggies). He is a Gallup StrengthsFinder Strengths Educator and a former member of the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA). Kyle was also recognized by Mays Business School with the Star Performer Award in 2016. Kyle spends his free time with his wife and three kids (all under 5 years old) by investing in the local community as members at Grace Bible Church. He is serving as the Incoming Board Chair for United Way of the Brazos Valley and has previously served as an advisory board member for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas and the Baylor Scott & White Central Texas Foundation. Prior to joining Mays Business School, Kyle worked as a non-profit fundraiser and volunteer coordinator for a local nonprofit in Bryan/College Station.
Multiple classes per year – In 2020, one of the sections focused on immigration while another focused on criminal justice reform. The immigration course spent the semester reading a packet of articles on immigration, and students volunteered at a local immigration organization. They also participated in two in-class dialogues instead of writing a book report. The criminal justice reform course read Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson and wrote a book report for discussion in class.
