Charles Kirby

Student success is Charles’ passion. Academic Planning and design have given him a seat at the table to work side-by-side with faculty and academic leaders, asking what’s possible?  How can we engage students and allow them to partner with faculty in shaping their learning? How can we cost-effectively deliver these experiences? For 25 years, these questions have been at the heart of Charles’ curiosity to improve Science and Engineering discovery and innovation in teaching and research.
