I have the privilege of teaching first-year students in "Introduction to Sociology" It is truly a privilege to watch their growth from the first day of still being high school seniors and transforming to a university student.
I also teach Human Sexuality, Relationship classes and a course "Working with Military Families. I developed the course as well as the certificate program.
Every day I come to campus I am excited to share time with my students and also remember the times I walked these sidewalks as a student.
