Frank N. McMillan, III is an award-winning author, educator and speaker in Corpus Christi, Texas.
He holds a master’s degree in geography from Texas A&M University—College Station and trained at the International School for Holocaust Studies at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem as a participant in the Holocaust and Jewish Resistance Teachers’ Program.
Over the last thirty years, he has been an adjunct faculty member at Texas A&M University—Corpus Christi and Del Mar College where he teaches world geography.
A proponent of Holocaust education, his 2006 Young Adult novel, Cezanne Is Missing, has been taught in schools across the country. His lifelong interest in and respect for the history and traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Americas influenced a second book, The Young Healer, which won the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP) Foundation Book of the Year Award and was a finalist for the Mark Twain Readers’ Award.
In 2012, Texas A&M University Press released his non-fiction work, Finding Jung, an exploration of his father’s personal experience of the objective psyche. The following year, he was inducted into the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP) as an honorary member at its XIX International Congress held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Frank has served on the board of several environmental and human service organizations, and currently works with nonprofit groups that address homelessness, poverty, illiteracy, and other urgent social issues. He is the founder of The Frank N. McMillan Jr. Institute for Jungian Studies at The Jung Center in Houston, Texas where he serves as a board member. The McMillan Institute hosts local and online educational experiences that advance Jung’s exploration of the frontiers of the human soul, and is now home to the annual Fay Lecture Series.
Since 2018, he has served as a trustee for the Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California and recently co-founded The Academy of Imaginal Arts & Sciences which asks the question, “What does it mean to be human in a digital world?”
Next year, Frank will be speaking at the Eranos Conference, Jung’s Red Book for Our Time: Searching for Soul in the 21st Century, held April 28th through May 1st in Ascona, Switzerland. Other presenters include Speaking of Jung guests Murray Stein, Leonard Cruz, Lance Owens, and next month’s guest, Nancy Swift Furlotti.
