Teaching Statement

A primary motivation among students in the higher education setting is to develop and express workplace competencies. I believe it is incumbent upon educators to first define and then elaborate on the skills and aptitudes employers hope to discover. The capacity for understanding content, communication and corporate culture become increasingly important as more exchanges take place online and in the cloud. A recent New York Times article* notes that industry looks to higher educational systems to provide leaner and perhaps “meaner” graduates who can do more than simply access information but to be able to apply it to specific business problems.
