Why I teach in Honors:

I teach in Honors because of the multitude of disciplines, backgrounds, and interests of Honors College students always lead to wonderful classroom discussions where all (including myself) are enriched by the level of discussion.  Having taught all four courses in the Civilizations sequence, a handful of junior level tutorials, and advised and/or sat on a number of thesis committees, I am continually blown away by both the intellectual scope and thoughtful consideration Honors students give to their education.
