Why I Choose to Work at Academic Innovation

I wanted to come work at the Center for Academic Innovation because of the exciting opportunities for doing research across different units within the Center as well as the university more generally. I was also interested in a unit where I could hone my own research skills in service of, ultimately, supporting student learning and success for Michigan students. I’m looking forward to all the professional growth that will come with this new team!
