Christiane is a true innovator in education. We worked together at the University of Minnesota to build a Health Services Management program tailored to key competencies in the Health Services industry. Christiane was an active partner working with our industry advisory board to identify program-specific competencies and labor market skills that define excellence and innovation in our field. Her assessment expertise allowed us to track multiple levels of outcomes: program-level competencies and higher order skills through the learning management system and generate learning analytics on these skills. This innovation eased an otherwise arduous process of curriculum mapping and program review. The HSM program grew to over 230 students in four years with experiential and competency based courses, 56% diversity in our students, excellent faculty, great internships and jobs post college. Thank you Christiane for your great vision, knowledge, innovation and partnership!
