 Synergy captures my experience at Colgate. Collaborations between students and faculty forged both in and beyond the classroom have made me a better population scientist and a better teacher. And now through community outreach, I have the opportunity to extend our collaborative studies into Utica, The Adirondacks, and even Australia!  |
