January 15, 2026Esther Park, Iulia Fratila, Allison Miner, and Yanika Kowitlawakul discuss how they got started as new faculty members, their efforts to transform their teaching and students’ learning, and engagement with professional development on a Keystone Concepts in Teaching: A Higher Education Podcast from the Stearns Center.
Congratulations to Dr. Danielle Catona, Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and Community Health, for recently receiving a Stearns Center grant for implementing alternative assessment strategies. The grant will allow Catona to conduct research on alternative assessment strategies for GCH 380: Public Health Research Methods. GCH 380 is an important aspect of the college’s accredited MPH program, and Catona’s research will provide valuable insight on improving it.
