Synergic Activities
Attended the following conferences dealing with the use of new teaching approaches and ways of
integrating the teaching of science with issues of social importance for science courses occupied by nonscience majors:
Project Kaleidoscope 2000 Summer Institute, Denver, Colorado, July 2000.
SENCER Summer Institute, Santa Clara, California, August 2001.
Chaired a committee dealing with the implementation of a new science curriculum for non-science students
as part of a revised general education curriculum that has been implemented at Loras College.
