"Teaching at UToledo has been very rewarding for me. The diversity of students and variety of backgrounds and experiences they bring to my classes make for a fantastic teaching/learning environment. The various perspectives allow students to learn from each other and add to their own interpretation of the world and communication. The classes I teach aid students in achieving their long-term goals, through raising awareness of their own and others’ communication behaviors. Teaching communication classes is gratifying, because effective communication skills are a necessity in any profession."
