Alcyone earned her undergraduate degree from Wittenberg University in Ohio, then her Master's and PhD in History of Culture from the University of Chicago. In 1966, she began what would be a 45-year career in the English Department at Midland University where she taught literature, ethics, and travel courses around the world. Upon her retirement in 2011, Alcyone stayed active with the art department and an adult literacy program she had helped to establish.
