Student Profiles
Tameka Landers Faculty Profiles David Morimoto |
Fresh from a trip to Peru with his students, Professor Morimoto is quite animated as he describes the hands-on learning that benefited everyone — including himself. "When I teach, I learn. You can’t separate this. And when you’re in the field, you observe patterns, notice phenomena, ask questions…you develop a large scale perspective on Earth as a living system." With the trip to Peru, Morimoto’s students were able to explore the ecology of rainforests in the largest intact example left on earth. "This gives them a new kind of awareness, a new way of thinking that is powerful," he remarks. Professor Morimoto’s enthusiasm carries over to the classroom as well. "I’m excited by the opportunity to articulate a vision for our programs that involves an environmental science focus with a real emphasis on biodiversity. My goal is to erase the line between lecture and lab and instead, facilitate thoughtful discussions as an immediate response to experiments or work in the field." |
