CIRTL Alumni Logo

The CIRTL Alumni Network strives to bring together all those who have graduated from CIRTL but still would like to be involved and connected.

 

Migration of the Network

The CIRTL Alumni Network has operated through a Google Group, but is now migrating to the QUBES platform.  This will allow more interactivity among members, provide a way to store content, and allow formation of subgroups and creation of new projects!  If you just got here, please look around and populate your profile!

Dr. Deborah Rook is an evolutionary biologist and paleontologist. She has a bachelor's degree in Biology and Evolutionary biology from Case Western Reserve University and a masters in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology from Ohio State University, having studied evolutionary and ecological dynamics of Cenozoic mammals. For her PhD, she moved into Geoscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, focusing on dynamic interactions of the rock and fossil records. Biology education has always been a focus for her, having taught and studied pedagogical techniques throughout her graduate studies and beyond. She joined the QUBES team in September 2017 as the FMN Project Manager, where she is working with the Faculty Mentoring Networks to enhance student experiences with quantitative biology, and the Professional Development Manager as our opportunities expanded. Since September 2021, she moved to Deputy Director, where she continues to work in the professional development space but now also manages staff and assists the Executive Director with business aspects of the organization.
