Teaching
My greatest aspiration is to create a student-centered learning environment that facilitates transformational learning for all. Transformational learning shapes us in ways we and others can see – and this learning should prepare us for all aspects of life. We will engage in critical thought and dialogue to advance the ways we exercise leadership in our academic, personal, professional and civic lives to make progress on the opportunities and challenges of today and the future.
