Honors Faculty Fellows

Being a Faculty Fellow has been one of the most meaningful and fulfilling parts of my teaching career to date. Students in both semesters were fantastic: inquisitive, engaged, conscientious, respectful, and hardworking. I learned so much from them about how to teach in more collaborative ways.
