Jared returned to school to study botany, receiving an M.A. in biology from Humboldt State University in 1982. In 1987, he finished a second M.A. degree, in English, with an emphasis on teaching writing.

He also teaches the English Department's English grammar course (ENL 106), and he has taught two courses for Integrated Studies (on science in the Renaissance and on James Joyce). Jared has presented workshops on students' cognitive development during the college years, on critical thinking, on writing in the disciplines, and, with the campus's Gender Equity Group, on ensuring gender equity in the classroom. Jared received the Academic Federation Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2004.
