Presidential Teaching Professor Seminar
Factors That Make Outstanding Professors Successful: Lessons Learned from DeKalb to the Emerald Isle
Jeanette Rossetti, Ed.D.
Distinguished Teaching Professor, School of Nursing
Many of us strive to be the best professors we can be, giving students the most rewarding academic experience during their time at NIU. But what are the factors that make outstanding professors successful? In this presentation, Professor Rossetti reflects on what she has learned over her teaching career, starting with the results of her dissertation on this very topic, and the lessons that have driven her own academic journey from assistant professor to Presidential Teaching Professor. She will also highlight what she has learned from time spent with students studying abroad and exploring Ireland's health care services.
