Kelly Wentz-Hunter, assistant professor of biology at Roosevelt University, has been involved with SENCER since beginning her time at RU.  She modified a cellular and molecular biology course after attending her first Summer Institute, and has since designed an upper level course on cancer biology.

Kelly plans to present sessions on the SENCER approach and her course revisions/creations to colleagues on campus, regionally, and nationally, and to submit manuscripts on findings from course assessments to peer-reviewed journals.  She will also continue to work with her colleagues on-campus to develop new, interdisciplinary courses that incorporate civic engagement. 

Kelly was elected a SENCER Leadership Fellow in November 2008.
