Professors

"Teaching for Discover is the best part of my year. The students are all so enthusiastic and engaged. It's the perfect way to spend two weeks in the Summer; an education vacation. Just don't tell the students that I get as much out of the experience as they do." –Professor, Greg Smith

“I am fortunate to teach a group of wonderful students here in our communication classes. The students are always excited to be a part of our program and I hope that we will see many former DISCOVER students attend AU and become permanent EAGLES!” –Professor, Gemma Puglisi
