SCHREYER INSTITUTE FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE Faculty Teaching Consultants Liaisons for New Faculty Dr. Larkin Hood lnh2@psu.edu (814) 863-0686 Who are our faculty consultants? Our instructional consultants are also faculty. They have PhDs in different disciplines and all have extensive teaching experience. Their varied backgrounds and teaching experiences increase the likelihood that we “speak your language” and understand your teaching context. One of the handouts provides details about their different areas of specialization, but Larkin and Mary Ann are responsible for our New Faculty Program. Coming around is a flyer for our competitive program designed just for new faculty. Dr. Mary Ann Tobin mxt325@psu.edu (814) 865-7881 SCHREYER INSTITUTE FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE
