Candidate Statement

I am running for a Faculty Council position because of my belief in, and respect for, faculty governance. My work in the Curriculum in Global Studies involves interdisciplinary cooperation, and I am an excited to apply the skills I have learned in cross-disciplinary problem solving to campus-wide discussions and strategy. In my work, I am committed to fair evaluation of facts, team work, and consistent follow through. I will bring these traits to the Faculty Council in service of the University and faculty community.
