Instruction

Teaching Philosophy
I think we have a fantastic curriculum in HRIR. I tend to teach the Staffing, Training, and Development courses. I love engaging in discussions about the course material--please ask lots of questions! I also love to get to know our students and to learn where they end up after they leave our program.
