Lisa Schultheis (’88 ) serves as chair of the biology department at Foothill College. And lest you think she’s the lucky one in the arrangement–teaching at what the American Institute of Architects called “the most beautiful community college ever built”–here’s what a student had to say:
BEST teacher I’ve ever had. She knows how to teach, very knowledgeable, enthusiast, extremely nice, helpful, and fair. The class is not easy but you learn a lot. Most amazing is her enthusiasm for teaching and plants. Can’t imagine myself looking forward to coming to a bio class! but it happened, thanks to Dr Lisa.
Pretty inspiring stuff. Sort of a Mr. Holland’s Opus with a bunch of liverworts and photophosphorylation instead of oboes and trumpets…
