At the end of May, Life Science Faculty, Marie Gabbard, Andy Jensen, Hollie Leavitt, Marianne Nelson and Mike Haldorson attended the annual Human Anatomy and Physiology meeting in Salt Lake City.
This was a large conference and experts from around the nation attended the event. CWI’s Jensen and Leavitt each presented sessions focused on engaging students in the learning experience. Jensen’s topic was centered on: "Active Learning: Use of a Group Exercise to Demonstrate Filtration, Reabsorption, and Secretion in the Renal Tubule." Leavitt presented a talk called: "A Hands-on Guided Inquiry Activity for Teaching Pulmonary Ventilation and Lung Function" that led to her being invited to submit a journal article to LifeSciTRC.
