Bio summary

Professor Ferry received strong testimony of her peers and students for her dedication and teaching style. She also is a mentor to other teachers, leading and participating in teaching-learning workshops and guiding young faculty. She has created a repository of information and resources for the faculty that they can access. When the Herberger Young Scholars Academy first opened, Ferry was an early participant, and has continued to be a frequent mentor of both students and teachers. Her dedication to teaching can also be seen in the wide array of courses she has taught, again with emphasis on student-driven learning.
