Lauren Hecht: Teaching at Gustavus

“Teaching, like research, is an iterative process centered around the question: how can I best equip students with the skills and knowledge to creatively address problems and questions beyond the classroom? Each time I deploy an idea, gather data, and identify remaining questions in the classroom, I model the innovation, risk, and persistence that I ask and encourage students to acquire and practice.”
