Dr. Vicki Isola亚洲色吧檚 main teaching responsibilities are Loading... 亚洲色吧� Introduction to Cell Biology and Loading... 亚洲色吧� Microbiology for the Allied Health Professions, which are pre-requisite courses for nursing students. She has also taught introductory biology, general microbiology and immunology for biology majors.

Vicki is very interested in biology education with the twin goals of increasing understanding of scientific concepts in non-science (pre-health) majors and increasing the retention of underrepresented students interested in the health sciences, who often see their pre-requisite science classes as a barrier to their ability to pursue a career in the health professions. To this end, she has been modifying her courses over the past seven years to include more ways for the students to actively engage with each other as well as the course content, and she has developed a learning assistant program for Biology 103 that is designed to provide academic support outside of the classroom. She has also been working with Dr. Maria Burnatowska-Hledin and Hope students to develop monoclonal antibodies to VCAM-1.

Outside the College

Vicki and her husband have four children and four grandchildren. Their daughter, Julie, is currently pursuing a degree in biology secondary education at Hope. Vicki enjoys reading, writing, camping, hiking, skiing, geocaching and spending time with her family.

She and her husband have been coaching the L.E. White Middle School and Allegan High School Science Olympiad teams for the past eight years. She believes the Science Olympiad program is a tremendous way to inspire students at a young age to pursue a career in the sciences and is interested in helping local teachers start a Science Olympiad team at their school.

Vicki completed the first draft of her debut young adult fiction novel with the assistance of the NaNoWriMo challenge, her Kalamazoo writing group friends and the Hope College Faculty Writing Camp. This is a work-in-progress that she hopes to publish some day in the future.
