It is clear she looks at this type of collaboration in the same way a natural science professor in Rieke Science Center might look at a student–faculty research project.

Intramural sports among many other things. Academically I have worked to achieve a double-major in economics and religion and along the way, have pushed myself in my writing and research to the point that I have attended and been invited to many conferences across the country.
