Amy Betz, mechanical and nuclear engineering, Carl R. Ice College of Engineering What does it mean to be smart and what other traits do we associate with smartness? I am often told, You don t look like an engineering professor. What does that mean? And why do people feel the need to tell me that?
Doug Walker, sports marketing, College of Business Administration To fully understand a marketing interaction, you have to experience it from both perspectives and in a way that makes you care about the outcome.
Colby Moorberg, agronomy, College of Agriculture Student engagement requires teachers to establish relevance. By using history, personal experiences and popular culture, we can provide context to establish the relevance students need to learn.

Daniel Kuester, economics, College of Arts and Sciences Faculty should meet students where they are whenever possible. If we can use examples provided by our students during the lecture, everyone wins.
