INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES

Throughout my academic career various instructional assignments have covered the spectrum ranging, most recently, from an Honors course focused on America’s Place in the World Today: Global Hegemonist or Global Partner, to undergraduate and graduate interdisciplinary analyses of popular culture in domestic and global perspective, together with contributions to postgraduate study of higher education leadership and finance. Moreover, I have delivered graduate level statistics and research methods courses along with serving as chair of numerous master’s level theses and PhD dissertation committees at multiple top tier research universities. My commitment to instructional and learning excellence has been recognized, in part, through outstanding teacher awards at two prior universities.

I am most proud of my leadership in planning, supporting and implementing innovative curricula projects and entrepreneurial delivery models ranging from distinctive education abroad programs, to joint degree programs with both domestic and international universities, interdisciplinary programs, an expansion of co-operative education delivery in partnership with business and industry, as well as leveraging emerging technologies to enhance student access, attainment and completion while managing through academic continuity in the context of COVID-19.
