How Can I Help
In my role as Assistant Director on the Educational Development team, my main focus is to provide support for and build community among graduate students and postdocs as they learn and grow into researchers who are also impactful educators of undergraduate (and graduate) students. That is, I guide the instructors of current and future college students as they learn how to implement research-based teaching.
