At the workshop, I met a lot of people from Bridgewater State University (BSU). I signed up since I was interested in teaching and wanted to make use of the resources it offered. It all started when I got an email about the workshop ‘Teaching in Teaching Intensive Institutions’ organized at UMass Boston. If teaching is your passion and especially if you are thinking of it as a career option, a question you should ask yourself is: What type of teaching am I passionate about?
