Growth Factor FACULTY SPOTLIGHT: Karen Hinkle Would you like to understand and explore an astonishing range of human knowledge? From the principles of mathematical deduction, to the natural world, to the wonders of the universe, our faculty offer a wealth of knowledge, experience, and guidance to Norwich students. Through lecture, laboratory and clinical settings, we prepare students to pursue advanced study, perform successfully in their careers, and become responsible citizens in a democratic society. Outside the traditional classroom and laboratory, COSM students engage in undergraduate research projects that enrich their educational experience, transform them into thoughtful, critical thinkers, and give them a competitive advantage after graduation. Our students frequently present their research at state, regional, and national conferences. Experienced faculty advisors also provide one-on-one, personalized guidance to prepare students for professional careers in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, and many more. A teacher-education program is open to interested students. “Take the opportunity to explore our programs and consider a science and mathematics major as an area of study. I encourage you to visit the campus and see the opportunities that are available. Our faculty and staff are friendly, accessible, and willing to answer questions.” Michael B.

Research is a great way for them to start to understand science as a process, not just a list of facts to be memorized.” Ethan Guth – Biochemistry “Trying to understand how life works on the molecular level has fascinated me for 20+ years, and it continues to excite me today.” Christopher Koteas – Earth and Environmental Sciences “I teach because I believe that students who understand the processes that shape the planet are better prepared to work across disciplines to solve fundamental problems that directly effect humanity.” Megan Doczi – Biology “We still don’t understand what happens in the nervous system to create things like consciousness. That unknown is what draws me to neuroscience.” Sean Kramer – Mathematics “It’s always been a joy to teach, and that’s why I love this particular institution. The emphasis on teaching is really strong here.” Tabetha Hole – Physics “If I discover something new about stars, only a few people in the world will ever read about that. Whereas, working with students teaching introductory physics, I am able to share with them something beautiful and amazing about the universe.” 1 2 3 4 5 6 College of Science and Mathematics Tompkins 166 | 1 (802) 485-3338 COSM Dean Michael B.
