Why Teach at ENC?
As a first generation college student, Dr. Schow attended a small, Christian, liberal arts college. The learning and community environment at such a small college was vital to her finding her calling and the formation of her Christian faith and worldview. Many professors invested in her during her undergraduate years and she is at ENC to give back in the same way. She cares very deeply about the integration of academic rigor, faith, and social justice and loves teaching at ENC since this is a perfect place for the merging of these passions
