This web site is primarily oriented towards my position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. I serve in the Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning within the College of Education and Human Development. I have two main research objectives: explore issues related to academic access in postsecondary education and develop strategies to increase the success of underrepresented student populations in college.
Greetings! Welcome to my redesigned personal web site. I decided to incorporate a blog on the first page of my web site. I thought this would be a more interesting way to both enter the web site as well as provide an opportunity for me to share some new information with you regarding recent publications, research investigations, and new things that I have learned. The best part about a blog page is that you can "comment" on the postings that I put up. Look for the link for "comments" at the bottom of this posting. Please make a comment since it is a great way to begin a conversation.
