Say hello to Christiane Petrin Lambert EdD '24, who was recently named Interim Vice Provost at Rhode Island College! 👋 When asked how her Regis education prepared her for life after graduation, she reflected on her professors, who helped her realize her passion and potential:
"I think it began with the Presentation Interview required for admission into the EdD program. Dr. Priscilla Boerger's and Dr. Lauren Bent's receptivity to my ideas watered a seed I didn't know was planted inside myself. Over the coursework, that seedling was cultivated. One example is when my Psychology of Learning Professor, Dr. Kelly Brochu, took the time after class one day to brainstorm dissertation ideas prompted by the class material. Another example is when Dr. Heather Maietta, my dissertation chairperson, offered to author an article with me, which was eventually accepted and published. I am intentionally including the names of the professors, and there are others, who invested themselves in their teaching, and my learning and confidence in what I have to offer the world of higher education."
