It is my responsibility as a professor to learn and
to teach. It is to create an atmosphere of caring,
justice, and community in the classroom. I wish
to foster in students a concern for others as well
as the confidence to act for themselves and to
find their true spirit. Through my teaching, I hope
to foster in students a love of learning, to teach
them how best to facilitate their learning, and to
encourage critical inquiry and thinking.

"Coming from a small town to the University
of Saskatchewan I was looking for a smaller
community to be a part of. STM gave me that
small community and became my home away
from home during university. Having a place
where I felt welcomed, supported, and part of a
family made all the difference."
