To teach writing, you have to be a writer, and Dr. Catherine Gibbs is both a respected writer and a respected writing teacher. She says…

 

“After I had been in journalism for a while, I had attended enough community meetings, and what I noticed was the people who can make a difference in their community were the ones who could communicate. [...] I wanted to go back in the classroom because I thought, if I can help students find their voices and [...] express their views—even if they were different than mine—that they could go out in the world and make a difference.”

 

Please join us as we talk to Dr. Gibbs about her aspiration to both enjoy and improve the world. If you get a chance, stop by and ask Dr. Gibbs about the dog she mentions in the interview.
