He hopes to inspire his students to think differently, recognize their potential, and pursue their dreams. Steven's Thoughts on the UTC English Department: I am able to enhance the rigor of my classroom by utilizing high level texts and contexts gained from my English classes. I am also able to pursue a more interdisciplinary approach to English thanks to my social science background. Dr. Stuart, Dr. O'Dea, Dr. Prevost, and Dr. Shaheen are incredible. |
