"Jody is an associate professor in the School of Nursing & Health Studies who views the student-faculty relationship as reciprocal and synergetic; they learn from each other. Most notably, she is helping the campus peer health educators with a health and wellness survey, participating in research to rehabilitate stroke patients and guiding students studying the use of mobile phones in promoting health. She co-authors papers and presentations with students, and has seen some become professors and mentors themselves."
