I hope your Spring semester is off to a great start! The Office of Engaged Learning (OEL) is excited to offer classroom visits to share information about our programs and the benefits they can provide to your students. These visits are a great opportunity to help students learn about experiential learning opportunities like Internships and Study Away, as well as how they can get involved.

Can you give me a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?
I was born in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and grew up in Mahomet, Illinois, where I graduated from high school in 1996. I played golf in high school and college before beginning a professional playing and teaching career with Troon Golf and Golf Digest in Scottsdale, Arizona. During that time, I was fortunate to earn a win on the Pepsi Tour.
What’s your favorite UIS tradition or event?
The Rising Stars program, which brings new UIS employees together through a variety of activities, stands out as a particularly meaningful experience. I also value the Employee Development Series and the many other training opportunities UIS offers, as they highlight the university’s commitment to supporting and investing in its employees. I enjoy taking advantage of these programs whenever possible.
