Why do you enjoy teaching at SBU? "Higher education at SBU is about relationships-relationships between faculty and student, creating opportunities to promote student to student learning relationships, and ultimately one's spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ. While many schools provide opportunities to develop the academic interaction between individuals, SBU's environment promotes and fosters academic relationships through an awareness and commitment to God's love to create richer relationships that are critical for students at institutions of higher education. SBU's students grow personally, academically, and spiritually because of these special relationships."
