Diane Santori


Department: Literacy

I have been an Assistant Professor in the Literacy Department since Fall 2008. I am the literacy department representative on the Teacher Education Day committee and I am also one of our department's APSCUF representatives. I have served on the Pedagogy for Engagment committee for the past three years and had the opportunity to plan and present several workshops and select PEC grant recipients. I am interested in serving on CAPC because I enjoy curriculum development and would like to learn more about how it is done in other departments. I also find it rewarding to work with colleagues from across campus to improve the quality of education offered here at WCU.
