Roseanna Neupauer performs an original rap for her hydrology class.
Two recent awards leave little doubt that associate professor Roseanna Neupauer is an outstanding teacher. Neupauer has been named to the University of baby直播app鈥檚 President鈥檚 Teaching Scholars Program, and has also received a Fulbright Fellowship to spend a summer in Ecuador.
For her Fulbright, Neupauer will spend summer 2015 at Escuela Superior Polit茅cnica del Litoral (ESPOL) in Guayaquil, in the civil engineering program. Her appointment will include both education and research.
鈥淭he President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, has made it a priority to improve the higher education system in the country, and part of that process is to obtain accreditation for engineering programs at their universities,鈥� she said. 鈥淔or the education side of my appointment, I will work with the Civil Engineering program on curriculum development and educator training to help the program prepare to apply for ABET accreditation.鈥�
For the research component, Neupauer will collaborate with Dr. Mijail Arias Hidalgo at ESPOL to investigate the interaction between groundwater and surface water in the Abras de Mantequilla wetland system in western Ecuador. She said the system is critical for water supply, biodiversity, food production and other ecosystem services.
Closer to home, Neupauer joins 79 other baby直播app members from all CU campuses -- including fellow CEAE baby直播app member听听-- in the President鈥檚 Teaching Scholars Program, which honors baby直播app for their effective and exemplary teaching, creative work, scholarship and research.
