Dr. Morrison-Shetlar joined the University of Central Florida, Orlando FL. in 2002 as Director of the Faculty Center for Teaching and Learning where she built strong programs to support faculty and GTA teaching and learning success. She was appointed Dean of Undergraduate Studies in April 2007 and Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Studies in September 2008. Her recent appointment as Dean of Elon College in June 2010, brings her back to the Liberal Arts and Sciences Dr. Morrison-Shetlar is co-author of Teaching Creatively: Ideas in Action (Outernet Publishing, 2001) with Dr. Mary Marwitz and has numerous publications on her scientific and educational research. She provides consultancies, workshops and keynote addresses nationally on teaching and learning with a focus on learning community development. Dr. Morrison-Shetlar has received over $3 M in grant funding for scientific and educational research and is involved in the assessment of many grants and projects nationally.
