“…Serene is a great instructor…”
“As adjunct instructors sharing a work area, Serene and I always talked about our philosophies in teaching and life: Writing syllabuses and learning outcomes. Being flexible and strong. Listening before coming to a conclusion. Cutting through clutter. Ways to get the lightbulbs to turn on—and keeping them burning brightly. When you find someone who’s good at all the above, you’ve found someone who will be a great instructor. Serene is that person.”
—Greg M., Creative Director & Adjunct Professor
