Faculty Show and Tell: Maintaining Personal Connections

Liz Trolli, Institutional Experiential Program Manager in the College of Pharmacy, designed her CarmenCanvas course to tackle these challenges. Learn how she gets to know her students and how she ensures each student understands the course requirements.
