Brief Biography:
I bring a wide range of experiences as a faculty member, academic administrator, student affairs administrator and non-profit board member. For a number of years, I was a faculty member at Colgate University, where I developed a series of courses, centers, and community partnerships. During my final few years at Colgate, I led an effort, as Dean of the College, to infuse civic education throughout our campus life programs. Currently, I am the Provost at SIT. I oversee experientially-based study abroad programs for American college students in about 50 countries. I also oversee a series of graduate programs on our Vermont campus that trains people in experiential methods.

I have always had a drive to serve others and work for the common good. But I never fully realized that I could go beyond volunteerism--that my opinion and hard work could influence policy decisions. My views changed when I sat in the office of one of my legislators in Washington, DC.
