Lisa Handler
(Social Science/Facilitator)

Lisa Handler is the current Facilitator of the Teaching Center. A member of the Social Science department, she is entering her sixth year at CCP. In part through her participation in the Leadership Institute and committees on professional development, she has become increasingly interested in faculty development. As the Teacher-in-Residence of the Teaching Center last year, she had the pleasure of bringing L. Dee Fink to CCP and led a set of workshops using his model of integrated course design. She is excited to continue and expand that work this year in the Teaching Center, and is looking forward to working with even more faculty to enrich our lives as faculty and our students’ lives as learners. Lisa has a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Graduate Certificate in Women’s Studies (both from SUNY-Stony Brook.) Before coming to CCP she taught at Temple, Hofstra and Stony Brook Universities.
