I am one of those odd people who enjoys professional service opportunities (within reason, of course). In the same way that I believe an engaged citizen is invested in their community and informed about the issues facing it, I also believe an engaged academic should be interested in and concerned with their academic communities. Over the years, I have participated in a number of committees and service opportunities.

Certificate in College & University Teaching Graduate Fellow, Graduate Division, UCSB, 2012-2015
Human Subjects Committee, Office of Research, UCSB, 2013-2015
- The Certificate in College & University Teaching (CCUT) is an interdisciplinary program designed for doctoral students who wish to demonstrate competency in teaching at the university level. The program consists of requirements designed to address basic teaching skills, theory and research in teaching and learning, and the proper use of instructional technologies, culminating in independent instruction and a portfolio documenting the process. More information can be found on the Graduate Division webpage.
- This is a unique and powerful program, especially among elite research universities, that aims to give graduate students fluency in skills they will most definitely need to flex in their careers as academics.
- In my capacity as CCUT Fellow, I acted as a liaison between the graduate students interested in pursuing the CCUT and the faculty administrators and reviewers. I held quarterly information sessions, manage the portfolio review process, and perform other administrative duties related to keeping the requirements current. I am proud to have served on this committee, both because I value the mission and because I learned so much from interacting with other passionate instructors from other disciplines.
Human Subjects Committee, Office of Research, UCSB, 2013-2015
- Although I only served on the UCSB Human Subjects Committee for two years, I found the conversations we had about projects from across disciplines to be absolutely invaluable. I can honestly say that serving on this committee has changed for the better the way I see the role of the HSC from the perspective of a researcher.
