Drop-in Office Hours
Monday and Wednesday 10:00 - 11:00
The above hours are drop-in; no appointment is necessary.
I am also glad to make an appointment outside of office hours.
If these drop-in office hours are not convenient, I will gladly schedule
an appointment with you; in this case, I encourage you to adopt the
professional approach of making an appointment rather than simply
expecting I will be free to see you during times that are not designated
as office hours.
Teaching is my responsibility. But learning is your
responsibility. This means that it is your responsibility to ask if there
is something you don't understand or if you have any concerns. I am easily
reachable in any of the following ways:
* during my office hours
* by appointment outside my office hours
* via phone
* via email
Look for announcements and reminders here throughout the semester.

Woman Change Leader of the Day

Cindy says: After successfully completing chemotherapy, double
mastectomy, and radiation, my passion is to help others.
Olya says: I learned that it's
not so difficult to make a difference in someone's life. You just have to
be faithful to the calling.
She stands up for disadvantaged people impacted by pollution... she never ignores a call for help
Yuki saw a need and filled it.
Shelby showed that one person really can make a difference.
Ashley Peterson from the Women Changing the World class asked me to post
this because: I saw this on CNN and thought it pertained to our class,
though it isn't a woman changing the world but rather a 12 year old boy. I
was inspired.
No one is ever too young or too busy to make a
difference.

An example of a sustainable change
Investing in women can unlock infinite potential around the globe.
Combining our donations allows us to make a more powerful impact in
women's lives. We are making a difference.
It was the followers who transformed a lone nut into a leader... know
when to be a follower instead of a leader.
I laid the paper down, sat thinking, when the thought came to me like
a flash of light -- 'Go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. No one had ever
accomplished this feat.'
Know when to shut-up
I wasn't a mountain climber; I was a business woman.... I learned to
put one foot in front of the other no matter how tough it is.
You can't bring about transformational change and keep everyone happy.
What a creative way to give people (children) the opportunity to think
about
change!
I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself.
More than anything, it is often ourselves that hold us back.
That's all I want is to make the world a better place, in some
way, than it was when I found it.
A leader of change puts other people's needs first.
