About

Curricular Director of Summer Institute, Instructor of First Year Studies, Senior Experience Coordinator and Lecturer of Biology

My name is Rose Theisen (pronounced Tyson). I am the curricular program director of Summer Institute and also an Instructor of First Year Studies and the Senior Experience Coordinator and Lecturer of Biology at Lawrence University. I have a background in Chemistry and a passion for teaching and learning and promoting Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Sense of Belonging in higher education.

In my role as curricular program director of Summer Institute, I plan and manage academic activities, including the morning SI seminar course and the afternoon topics courses. I also plan and manage the trip to the Oneida Nation and the weekend at Björklunden.

If you have questions about the Summer Institute courses or SI in general, please email me.
