College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences adapts to take the “physical” out of athletic training education
As students and medical professionals alike are well aware, athletic training is physical and extremely hands-on. Yet Assistant Professor of Athletic Training and Athletic Training Coordinator of Clinical Education Megan Brady leveraged the non-traditional setting to teach career-long lessons to her students. “As athletic trainers, we are trained to constantly adapt to changes—some sudden, some with timely warning—and to think outside the box,” she said. “We have to be able to do both of those things if we want to be successful. It’s the nature of the profession.” In addition to campus lectures, Brady’s students were scheduled to complete six-week...

Assistant Professor of Occupational Therapy David Plutschack didn’t want his students to miss this valuable lesson, so he...
SJMC professor emphasizes the “social” in social distancing, brings classmates together
“College is about the relationships you build as much as the knowledge you learn,” said Associate Professor of Journalism and Mass Communication Chris Snider. This philosophy has shaped what the COVID-19 classroom looks like for Snider and his students. In times of change and uncertainty, Snider leads with empathy. “I tried my best to just listen to students early on to determine how I should approach my classes,” he said. “I created a place where students could anonymously tell me what they were going through so I could design my classes around their needs.” The result was an increased focus...
