- I believe that we only know what we have been exposed to. Many new students would benefit from knowing how the university is organized. What are: faculty, instructors, professors… Deans, Chairs? What is the difference between a School and a College at a University?
- What is your academic area of training and what courses do you instruct?
- You wear different hats for the College of Engineering and Science as an Assistant Dean, 7-Year Dent Advisor and Faculty member to name a few. How might a pre-health student engage you here in the College of Engineering and Science?
