Margaret Reece
Like many of today's students, Dr. Reece was the first member of her family to attend college. She balanced raising a child, limited finances and frequent relocations while completing her bachelor degree in biology. She remembers a time as a military wife during the first 18 months of her son's life living in six different houses: 1 in Pennsylvania, 2 in California, and 3 in Bermuda in that order.
Through the many years of piecing together courses needed for her degree in biology, she developed strategies for keeping her grade point average high. She now shares how she did that with undergraduate students through her mentoring blog.
Her excellent undergraduate grade point average paid off handsomely in the long run. She was awarded a National Institutes of Health Pre-doctoral Traineeship that fully supported her doctoral studies at the University of California, Davis.
Dr. Reece is dedicated to providing students worldwide with successful study strategies. She maintains there are tactics that really work when learning the overwhelming material of medical science. She observes that individualized mentoring for undergraduates is rarely available at colleges and universities.
In contrast, mentoring of graduate students is well established in education and produces excellent results. Similar mentoring of large numbers of beginning students is now feasible because of the internet and the spread of smart phone technology.
Dr. Reece's signature talks for college programs desiring an increase in their graduation rates for students in medical science are "The new rules of science communication, "Professor This Textbook is 900 Pages of Babble"", and "YOU Are the Media, How to use web tools to connect with students globally."
She is featured in the most recent issue of Women of Distinction Magazine and was named 2014 VIP Woman of the Year by the National Association of Professional Women. She is an active member of the National Science Teachers Association, National Association of Distinguished Professionals, and Women Speaker's Association.
