From the UCSC Committee on Teaching: “The Faculty Spotlight is a way to feature outstanding educators at UCSC who have received the Excellence in Teaching Award. Each interview gives an insight into the experiences, successes, and innovations of different faculty members to showcase what’s happening around campus.”

In this Faculty Spotlight interview, Lindsay Knisely’s former students asked her about her teaching philosophy and the various programs she has created, including the Oakes College Mentoring Program, the Oakes Core Awards, and the Oakes Academic Success class.
