Megan Brock’s teaching serves to keep students on their academic course
After spending just a few minutes with Megan Brock, it is evident that student equity and wellness is at the center of her teaching philosophy.
“My goal as a lecturer and academic coach is to empower students to stabilize themselves when waves of life threaten their trajectory,” she said. “If you imagine students as boats on a sea, there are always going to be waves challenges that could move them off course. Our goal is to help them know what their anchor in life is, to equip them with skills needed to navigate rough waters of academia, so they’ll be in control of their own journey.”
