I have always and continue to value the importance of international education. I would enjoy
reaching out to community colleges, colleges, and universities to share exciting information about
the benefits of being a member of Phi Beta Delta. If they are interested I and/or with a Phi Beta
Delta Colleague, would be very willing to share information with them about developing a Chapter.
I have always enjoyed learning about various cultures and sharing them with my students and faculty.
I also enjoyed experiencing the rich culture in New Mexico when I had the opportunity to teach at a
Hispanic serving university and to work with a large group of Nativie Americans during two major
research studies. I started getting involved with international work when I worked for the
University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and continued when I became the Dean of Education and
