Why Stritch?
"I began my career as an adjunct teaching undergraduate-level courses at Stritch in the Sociology department. After serving as an adjunct for 4 years, During my time as an adjunct, I was able to witness the culture of community and compassion at Stritch. I loved the smaller classrooms because I was able to really get to know my students. I established very strong relationships with the students in my department, and when the opportunity arose to transition into a permanent role as Chair and Assistant Professor, I accepted without hesitation. Stritch feels like home to me, and after working at a large, public university with 30,000 students, I can say that Stritch feels more like a community than a university. "
