Just last month, Distinguished Alumna and 2014 Commencement Speaker, Susan B. Kiely, BS ’70, DHL ’14, welcomed MERV to Denver, where MERV met Scott Mengel, Executive Director of the Downtown Denver Expeditionary School. Dr. Sandy Mangano, Dean of the School of Education, visited Denver to learn about the school and Susan’s involvement. Earlier this summer, Dean Mangano had shown Susan many of the state-of-the-art features in University Hall, including the Center for Advancing Technology in Teaching. The Center removes the distance-barrier between Denver and GMercyU so that collaborative efforts can proceed unimpeded.
It’s readily possible to conduct synchronous classes and/or engage in professional development activities with simultaneous vision and voice involvement among all participants, regardless of location. I hope that MERV is invited to visit other alumni and schools across the country, where we can forge partnerships that will enhance the educational opportunities for all students.
