I enjoy watching students as they learn. Sometimes I can tell the moment when a concept or a point made in class stimulates their thinking and promotes new ideas.

Pick one and tell us a time you witnessed it embodied at UNMC.<\/B><\/p>\n<p>When the college is spread across five campuses, working together takes on an entirely new meaning.  As GFO chair last year, I witnessed firsthand how the faculty from all campuses came together to do the work of the college throughout the year. As an example, we have passionate faculty and staff who want to continue to work on our curriculum at all levels (undergraduate, graduate) to address the needs of current and future students as well as the needs of the people our students will be serving.
