Doctor of Philosophy, Univ Of Utah, 1989
Bio
I earned my Ph.D. in Environmental Communication at the University of Utah in 1989.
I started at ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø that same year and became Department Chair of Communication Studies
in 1996.
I have led Study Abroad Programs to Bath, England in Spring semesters of 1997, 2001,
and 2007, and summer programs in 2008 and 2009. I have been attending the Salzburg
Global Seminar since 1996, first as an ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø Salzburg Fellow and then, from 2007-10,
as a ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍøing Faculty Member for the International Study Program. I have administered
a one-month visiting student program for students from Chiba University (Japan) for
15 years, and have visited Chiba 3 times. In 2008 I represented ºÚ¹Ï³ÔÁÏÍø at the City
of San Jose-Okayama, Japan Sister City 50th Anniversary celebrations.
More recently, I have visited universities in Denmark to start discussions for developing
exchange programs. In June, 2012 I will co-lead a student group to JAMK University
in Finland and explore further exchanges with the Ministry of Education.
