"I believe that the Case-Fisk collaboration provides a framework for building a marvelous relationship between these two great institutions. I am looking forward for both students attending Fisk and Case to share their perspectives as well as grow from the opportunities to learn from others. As a faculty member who conducted a lecture, I was honored to have the opportunity to share my research in the Case academy. All were warm and friendly and gave me great hope for the possibilities for this collaboration. In addition to students, I believe that both faculties can benefit from this collaboration and can find new and exciting ways to collaborate on curriculum development, research, and service learning.
Last spring, I was challenged as a teacher to participate in the teleconference class with Dr. Csordas. This medium challenged my presentation and responsiblities as a teacher in the learning process. It was a great opportunity to build a relationship with Dr. Csordas and I was delighted when I visited Case last spring that I could recognize the students in the class and they, in turn, recognized me, also. Both institutions have a responsibility to provide a rich, learning environment to its students. I believe this collaboration provides unlimited opportunities for faculty, staff, and students from both universities to learn and grow in this global society."
