| Introduction | Hello! My name is Lori and I am an educator at Santa Clara University. I did my undergrad in Sociology at Purdue University (Boiler up!) with a minor and dance and my masters work at the University of St. Thomas in Leadership in Student Affairs. I love the process of learning - whether it's reading a good article, hearing a passionate friend talk about what makes them tick, or facilitating a dialogue with students where I get to learn from them. Teaching the Emerging Leaders Program course is one of my favorite parts of my job and often the highlight of my week. Working with SCCAP is also a favorite part of the work I do. While I'm only one quarter into my work life here at Santa Clara, I'm looking to the future of how to do more leadership development for students on campus - not just through the ELP course or for students to have leadership positions on campus. With me, I value honesty, humility, passion, story, and a want to connect with and learn from others (especially those who are different from ourselves). I have a strong personal interest in facilitation and social justice which informs the work I do. |

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
A banana peel - it probably weighs less than a wet sock (and won't drip nearly as much). Plus, I think yellow is a great color for an airplane!
