Dr. Michael Teed
"Choosing a university is a lot
like finding the right job.
It's all about the fit."
As an industrial organizational psychologist,
Business professor Dr. Michael Teed loves to share
hispassionforhumanbehaviourintheworkplace.
"Bishop's is a place where the classroom is only
five rows deep. So when I introduce a theoretical
perspective on something like leadership, the
intimate environment really supports discussion."
Dr. Teed's newest initiative is harnessing this
classroom setting as an opportunity for group
learning with real-world, practical implications.
"One of the things student face when they leave
university and start looking for work is the
demand for work experience. I knew this was a
stressor and started to think about ways I could
address it in the classroom. I've been working on
a model to train students in résumé writing and
interview coaching, as well as HR consultation
for small businesses. They will then offer these
services to members of the community. It's a great
exercise in experiential learning.”
Dr. Michele Murray
"I came to teaching in the same way
I came to be an academic — driven by my love
of learning,"
explains Dr. Michele Murray, professor
of Religion and Dean of Arts and Science.
"While I was working on my Master’s degree
in Jewish history, becoming a professor in
a university wasn't on my radar. I actually
took a break half way through my degree
to pursue training as a commercial pilot. I
realized towards the end of that training that
I had reached a point where I would master
the crucial aspects of flying. The times that
would be exciting, would be emergencies—
times you don't want. I learned something
really important about myself. I didn't want
to arrive—I wanted to always be learning.
I feel that I am always learning from my
students. It's a joint effort in the classroom.
Students come with perspectives and insights
that have never occurred to me. I love how
my students are always stimulating me to
look at something in a different way."
