What courses are you currently teaching and what are you most proud of about those courses?
Low Incidence---The students have opportunities to meet with potential teachers and gives me the opportunity to develop a thinking foundation so they work from their own minds and not just the text. They think about the impact they have with teachers.
Americans with Disabilities -----This is a liberal studies class and it reaches across ...campus so we get all sorts of people from different majors. It gives me the opportunity to inform them about students with disabilities. Exposing them to this allows for optimal success.
What scholarly/service projects are you working on and what are you most proud about those projects?
I am currently writing three articles and chapters for texts. One article is about the role of the church and how it impacts the education of our youth today. The impact of the articles is so cutting edge that to divulge the information would be potentially dangerous to SRU because the information would be leaked out to other universities therefore robbing Slippery Rock University of the credit.
What student success stories can you share?
The Interns that I work with over the summer are exceptional! Most of the interns are hired by the places they are interning at. This shows that we are doing a great job due to the sheer number of hires. Multiple students are at the graduate level and expanding their education.
What do you do for fun during time off/school break?
I enjoy reading and traveling to New York, Atlanta, and Boston.
What do you like best or appreciate most about Slippery Rock?
The nature of the people here in and around the departments not only education but social work, sciences, geology’s, etc. It’s a sharing friendly atmosphere. The students are here to learn, they cooperate, and this makes my job more pleasurable because you are working with people who care and want to learn.
I enjoy keeping in contact with students after graduation and years to come. Students and myself own each other in a sense to ask for advice and just to catch up. This shows that you connect with the students.
