Synergy captures my experience at Colgate. Collaborations between students and faculty forged both in and beyond the classroom have made me a better population scientist and a better teacher. And now through community based learning, I have the opportunity to extend our collaborative studies into Utica and the Adirondacks, and to Australia and Uganda!
