Sciences: Asking questions and making discoveries
"From my perspective, being engaged is more than just coming and teaching and leaving. I just feel it is very important to communicate with the students and advise them."
- Marcia Gillette, Lecturer in Chemistry
“I’ve been here about twenty years now, and there have been some wonderful professors that helped me learn how to teach. I came in out of industry; I sat in a lot of classes in colleges, undergrad, grad school, but probably the most from students. I’ve learned the most from students. Questions that came up, problems they had, I’m a much better listener and planner than I used to be, before I had to teach.”
- John Ross, Professor of Computer Information Systems
"And, I think historically, Nursing has always expected a hundred percent or even more out of every student if possible. Because if you expect great things, you get better things than you would if you expect mediocrity."
- Sue Dunham, Dean Emerita of Nursing
"And we're all learning, always. No one knows it all. I think there's a misconception by students, when they first come into the program, that, one thing, the professors know it all (which is absolutely not true) and that when they get out of school, they will know it all. And it's not true, because no one knows it all. Even when you look at physicians, they're always calling for a consult by another physician or they're sending them off to test in a different place or they're doing this or that. Nobody knows it all, so we all have to learn from each other."
- Linda Wallace, Dean Emerita of Nursing
