Maslow taught psychology at Delta from 1963 to 1991 and was respected and admired by his students and colleagues. His method of teaching was student-centered.

His publications include Self-Check Tests, Seminars, Multimedia Make Larger Classes Pleasant, Profitable, Educational Media, Vol. 1, No.7 (Nov 1969), Papers: The One ClQ,ss Load, American Psychological Convention, Washington, D.C., 1969, and Student Centeredness in Teaching, American Psychological Convention, Miami, FL, 1970.

Maslow served many years as a member of the Lincoln Unified School District Board of Trustees. He was also a textbook consultant for Harper & Row, McGraw-Hill, Houghton-Mifflin and Wadsworth Publishing Company. His professional affiliations are the American Psychological Association, the Western Psychological Association, the California School Boards Association and the San Joaquin County psychological Society for which he served as president 1977-78. He served three years in the United States Army and has been an active participant in many Stockton community-based volunteer programs.

Richard Maslow has been retired from San Joaquin Delta College for 17 years and has enjoyed traveling extensively around the world with Karen, his wife of many years.
