Mission
statement
|
|
My
mission statement has evolved as a result of many years of teaching experience
as well as input from colleagues, practitioners and students. My personal
mission statement regarding my role as a teacher is to excel on all aspects
of my teaching and research. I see teaching and research complementary.
Effective teaching demands one to stay abreast of the field of study by
keeping current of the latest research in the field. On the other hand,
effective research makes certain that the knowledge gained has practical
implications both within and outside the academia.

|
My
responsibility is first and foremost to my students. Teaching them systems
perspective in all aspects of their lives is an ambitious yet critical aspect
of my teaching philosophy. As a teacher and an advisor, I would like to:
- foster critical thinking
and problem solving from a multitude of perspectives.
- help students learn how to
learn on their own;
- aid students in
understanding how to use learning resources, especially the experience
of others and how to become life-long learners;
- assist them to define their
professional goals; and
- be a caring advisor and an
effective mentor
|
|
My
responsibility to the field of Operations and Human Resource Development is
to:
- be a contributor to the
knowledge base of both disciplines;
- be a catalyst in
integrating the two together not only in theory but in practice as
well;
- teach to and learn from
practitioners of both fields.

As a
faculty member of the Department of Business/Acct/Economics at Otterbein
college, I would like to:
- be a contributor to the
success of the Department in pursuit of AACSB;
- be an effective team
player;
- be a productive member of
the Department;
- engage in research and scholarly
discussions with interested colleagues; and
- support faculty with their
challenges and celebrate their victories.
|
|
As a
member of the Otterbein community, I would like to:
- be a contributor to the
success of the College in support of its goals;

of roles;
