I am a faculty member in the English department at Grossmont College. Since I began in 2006, I have had the opportunity to teach in interdisciplinary links at the developmental and transfer levels with Reading, Math, Chemistry, Counseling, Child Development, and Communication.<\/p>\n
In addition to teaching in our long-standing learning communities program, Project Success, I also co-coordinated our first-year experience program, The Freshman Academy. This program seeks to offer a rich learning environment for first-year students by integrating student services and instruction. As coordinator for the campus-wide One Theme Project, I chaired a committee of instructional and student services professionals focused on creating integrative learning opportunities for students across their campus experience and throughout their college careers.<\/p>\n
Currently, as President of the Academic Senate, I have had the opportunity to work with faculty, staff, administrative and student leaders on College and District-wide projects, including the development of our 6-year strategic plan, the East County Educational Alliance (a regional \u201cpromise\u201d program), the evaluation of the institution\u2019s \u201clearning outcomes,\u201d and the development of college-wide degree and certificate program maps as part of our Guided Pathways work.<\/p>\n
I have an M.A. and a Ph.D. in English Literature from U.C. Riverside. My emphasis on the relationships between science and literature in the Victorian Era was the beginning of my professional interest in integrative, interdisciplinary work.<\/p>\n
I am the father of two girls (ages 10\u00a0and 8) and am sometimes told by them that I am a purple monkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
