- Faculty Innovator: Susan Popham was featured in a recent NOW.ius story ⬈. As associate professor of English (composition) and writing concentration coordinator teaching this foundational course, she knows that writing is tougher for some than others. Getting and keeping a student’s attention is just the first step. Therefore, like an academic McGyver, she fashions a variety of tools to ignite her students’ curiosity in pursuit of that quasi-magical phenomenon, engagement.
