“Through her dynamic service, wide-ranging life experience, and skilled teaching and mentoring Sian Christie inspires students, staff and faculty to reach for their best selves. By simply working hard and admitting she does not have all the answers, Sian is able to build learning communities. Students and faculty are drawn to collaborate with her. In the 2015-16 Academic Year I saw this first-hand as I worked with her and Jennifer Kwon Dobbs to develop and team-teach the Creative Learning Community \u201cThe Soul of Stuff.\u201d There, as I came to know Sian more deeply as a colleague, I saw many creative ways in which she was able to make transparent her journey as a learner. I suppose that is what I value most about having her in our community: she is great to learn with. Sian is not afraid to try new things, to learn through failure and share it all with others.”<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n
