iCons Family Evolves

Justin Fermann

Spring & Summer 2016 saw the graduation of the third cohort of iCons students– known as The Third Axis and also brought about new administrative and instructional leadership of the iCons program. Professor Justin Fermann has moved into the role of iCons Director.  As an instructor in iCons 1 for the last six years, Fermann is ready to take on the challenge of bringing iCons to the next level academically –as the program looks to open a third track and to redevelop the biomedicine lab course. 

Founding Director, Professor Scott Auerbach is now serving as iCons Senior Advisor, aka Grandfather, and though no longer at the helm, remains an integral member of the program and its community.  Scott is teaching iCons 2 Energy – so get ready for that debate i2e-ers! 

Allison Hunter has joined the instructional staff of iCons in Spring 2017, as an instructor for iCons 2 Biomedicine/ Bio-systems.  Ally is joining the iCons team as she works to complete her PhD in Education.  Prior to her doctoral work, Ally taught undergraduate biology.  Her focus is on the use of case studies in the classroom to engage students with scientific content. Ally is passionate about making science accessible to all learners.  We hope you will join us in welcoming Ally aboard!
