Teaching and Learning Activities related to Teaching Fellows

Teaching Fellow opportunity provides

As a Teaching Fellow, you become part of a community who places a high priority on teaching excellence and the student experience. For me, it’s provided an opportunity to share with and learn from others who are as passionate about teaching as I am. 

 

Teaching Passions and Philosophy

“Very simply put, I love it when students take big swings. I build an environment where they can feel comfortable experimenting and testing out new techniques, even if these result in failure. My hope is that this approach will lead them through a process of innovation with a successful end-result.”

 

Ongoing and Future Goals

“I continue to share my passion for visual arts and design with the hope that it will instill a similar enthusiasm in my students. Ideally, their engagement with both the process and the end-product of a creative practice will serve as a driving force that extends beyond their time within the university fostering a lifelong pursuit of creating art.”
