Serving as the leader of Lipscomb’s SENCER team,

Ben Hutchinson used his experience at the SENCER Summer Institute to help develop an impressive transdiciplinary course sequence for general education students.  As a result, two new courses targeted to the needs of education majors and those not intending to major in science fields have already been approved.  He is a powerful advocate for service learning—a pedagogy that fosters intellectual achievement and produces civic benefits.”

As a SENCER Leadership Fellow, Ben plans to support faculty colleagues who are developing SENCER courses at all levels and to work to expand partnerships with other institutions in middle Tennessee to design science-education projects focused on regional issues.

Ben was elected to the inaugural class of Leadership Fellows in July 2008.
