Impending Winter Storm

The University will observe a Winter Wellness Day on Tuesday, January 27, following the storm. Classes and activities will not run, and employees are not expected to work.

Only essential personnel should report to work as scheduled during the remote period or on Tuesday. Employees with questions about their status should consult their supervisor.

Teaching Philosophy

Education can lead us to adopting different perspectives from what we are used to. I think the strength of teaching public administration comes from understanding and developing public service, which is critical for our society. It has been a great experience to think outside of myself as an individual, and to further consider public values that we hold for our society. Thus, I am trying to ask myself how my teaching is related or applicable to students' current or future career. One of the advantages I have is that I have experience working as a public employee, so I can incorporate what I experienced into my teaching. Thus, my students practice putting organizational culture of public organizations or importance of leadership into their own language.
