What I Learned in the Dean of Students Office and How It Changed My Teaching

Tuesday, September 18

Ted Johnson, Biology

Clare Mather, Romance Languages-French

Steve McKelvey, MSCS

(co-sponsor: Dean of Students Office)

Ted Johnson, Clare Mather, and Steve McKelvey have each served in the Dean of Students office through a program that allows a faculty member to work for several years as an Associate Dean of Students. Now that all have returned to the classroom, they find that what they learned working with students in the Dean of Students Office has influenced the ways they work with students as teachers. In this session, they will share with us some of what they have learned and talk about how that experience has influenced their work as faculty members both in and out of the classroom.
