The video series will wrap up with a visit to the College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences that is set to premiere May 31, 2011. Representing the college is award-winning faculty member Dr. Deb Zoran, associate professor in the department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences. Viewers will gain insight to Zoran's favorite teaching strategies as well as some of her tips for communicating effectively within the classroom.

"It is a great honor for me to be asked to represent our college in the Teaching for Tomorrow series," said Zoran. "We have so many wonderful teachers in our college, that I feel truly humbled to represent us in some small way."
