Marsha has many roles here in the School of Nursing and she does each one well. First and foremost, she is a wonderful teacher. I continually hear from students that Marsha is a great instructor. She demonstrates caring and compassion for students and really goes above and beyond to help students learn the material and master the objectives for the courses she teaches. Marsha is always exploring ways to enhance students? learning experiences and new and better ways to create educationally effective online learning environments such as using webinar software to interact with students in real time in online courses. Marsha also has a significant administrative role within the School of Nursing. She is the faculty liaison for all technology matters. She works to help the tech team understand the needs and requests of the faculty, staff and students. She spends time researching technology solutions for the SON and applies for grants and pilots to be able to bring new forms of technology to the school. Marsha is also an active advisor for the CSUF chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing and serves on several committees in the school and at the university level. Marsha is also a liaison with many of our partner distance facilities. She often volunteers to represent the School of Nursing at community and recruiting events. Marsha works well with everyone both inside and outside the School of Nursing. She is supportive and encouraging of her faculty peers and works very well with the staff. No matter how stressful the time, Marsha always has a smile and a kind word for everyone she encounters. I have heard faculty specifically request to work with Marsha on projects and seen students get excited to learn that she will be their instructor for a course. Marsha is truly an example of what a nurse educator should be. She is a fair and compassionate role model who effectively collaborates with her students and colleagues and continually goes above and beyond in her faculty and administrative roles to ensure that the School of Nursing?s students receive the best education possible.
