Dylan Audette

Assistant Professor-in-Residence

Molecular and Cell Biology

Education: Ph.D. University of Delaware

Research Interests: Developing and investigating pedagogies that guide students to build reflective practice and subject mastery. Investigating methods for improving the equity of collegiate STEM education through novel pedagogies and institutional support to help narrow the achievement gap for first-generation college students, students from under-represented minorities, and women. Developing course-based undergraduate research projects to help expand the benefits of participation in novel research to more undergraduate STEM majors.
