Our Facult's Passion for Teaching Runs Deep

Dr. Lisa Bertrand
Professor

"As a former school administrator, I strive to align all topics of study authentically with professional leadership standards. Coursework reflects real-world experiences, which aids in preparing students to assume leadership positions in their profession."

Dr. Sara Garner
Associate Professor

"I have served in numerous roles educating young children, families, and child development practitioners in regional and national settings. I want students to be engaged and interested in learning no matter what age. Take time to dig deeply, ask questions, be curious, and enjoy the journey."

Dr. Courtney Kisat
Professor

"My teaching is informed by my work as a historian, in which my fields of specialization include rural American history, social welfare history, gender studies, and social studies education. I encourage students to be resourceful, ask questions, and always seek out new opportunities to learn and grow!"
