Contributions to the Professional Development of Alumni

Contributions to the School of Health Science

  • I facilitated faculty development activities at SHS on at least two separate occassions. Through these activities, I was able to facilitate dialogue on other avenues (e.g., methodology) to pursue in terms of scholarship.
  • I was a member the committee lead by Associate Dean Bill Kohlhepp that drafted the Mission and Vision of the School of Health Sciences (click here: SHS Mission.pdf) -- a crucial first-step in redefining the role and contribution of the School not only to the University's mission but to the global community as well. [Also see Email artifact SHS Mission.pdf]

 Contributions to the University:

  • Senate Research Policy Committee:[Service commends on RPC work.pdf]. This committee worked on describing current practices, perceptions and attitudes of faculty towards scholarship. Over two years, the committee conducted a QU-wide survey, studied practices in peer institutions and analyzed volumes of data to generate a report [See:Final Report RPC Survey Sp'11 copy.pdf]. This document will pave the way for future RPC work - including establishing or informing policies that would impact how faculty engage in scholarship.
  • Excellence in Education Seminar Series: [Service commends on EESS work.pdf]. This committee is a unit of the Collaborative for Teaching and Learning whose purpose is to promote best practices of teaching and assessment in the classroom. The committee recruits and works with faculty who do exemplary work to provide presentations or workshops year round. One of my proudest contributions is facilitating a panel on self-directed learning. [Click here: EESS Presentation 10-14.pptx].
  • Albert Schweitzer Institute: [Letter commends ASI work.pdf]. The Institute has been at the forefront of providing service-learning experiences to students in the global community. Students find the experience highly transformative. I am grateful to be one of the faculty mentors to the OT-PT delegation to Nicaragua (2009-2012) and Guatemala (2010-present).
