Happy to answer questions about the Doerr School or the department.

The cottages are usually “up north” and popular on the long weekends.

This is an important and deeply troubling read for those in the environmental psychology community.

Congrats! I’ve taught intro to 150 for 14 years now. On Day 1, I put the dad hat on (no dad jokes) and talk frankly about the pros/cons at this time in their lives, offer advice, and make myself available as much as possible. Most of all, be yourself—years from now, that’s what they’ll remember…

Just in time for a course revision!
