Teaching Philosophy

“Teaching at Siena has been my most gratifying professional experience. Non-traditional students bring to the University a wealth of life experience and wisdom. The online courses -- which have become my main focus -- only emphasize this. Discussions of ethical predicaments in the the business world and the wider society have a special openness in the online courses. I’m continually impressed with the creation of the online communities in Siena’s courses.”
