I am currently working on various professional projects for the college, university and community.
Boise State Faculty Ombuds – This is my third year as Faculty Ombudsman. My responsibility is to provide assistance to all Boise State faculty in resolving problems or issues that affect their effectiveness. Please visit the Faculty Ombuds website for more information. Boise State Faculty Ombuds
Project Manager: Online Course Evaluation Pilot Implementation — During the Summer 2010 the University is pilot testing a course evaluation system licensed from Gap Technologies. If the pilot test is successful, it may be possible to license the system on an ongoing basis for use across the university as early as Fall 2010.
Qualtrics Web Survey Tool, Brand Administrator – Starting in 2006, Boise State licensed use of Qualtrics web survey tool from Qualtrics Inc. for use across campus by students, staff and faculty to support information gathering. Since that time I have served as the Brand Administrator at Boise State to manage the University-vendor relationship, and ensure access and support for users across the University.
COBE Problem Solving Grant — During the Summer and Fall 2010, I am working with Patrick Delana and Chris Baughn on a grant to improve problem solving learning methods used by College of Business and Economics students. The grant was provided by the Center for Teaching and Learning at Boise State.
Project Management Workshops — With the Center for Professional Development at Boise State, I teach two-day workshops on project management and one-day workshops on Microsoft Project, for the Treasure Valley community. We put on two to three open workshops for the community each year, as well as offer customized workshops for organizations.
