Patricia McNeal Women's Studies Program, IU South Bend Patricia McNeal's development as a teacher is intimately linked to the growth of the Women's Studies Program she established at IUSB and the 16 new courses that now constitute the core curriculum of the program. McNeal's energies and enthusiasms as a teacher are not contained by disciplinary boundaries, the walls of the classroom or the gates of the campus. Like all good teachers, McNeal is a lifelong student and a great resource for her colleagues. Whenever she discovers a new methodology or pedagogy, she brings it to the campus as a whole.
Many faculty strive throughout their careers to be good teachers.
