Shannon Stokes, Lecturer
Dr. Stokes is passionate about preparing students for success at the college level. She has worked on student success initiatives for first- and second- year students and college readiness projects for incoming freshmen in the College of Natural Sciences. Most recently, Dr. Stokes worked on an NSF funded grant to develop engineering modules that showcase the application of first-year Calculus in engineering. Dr. Stokes co-teaches ES 301 both as a dual-enrollment course and in-residence at the University of Texas at Austin with Dr. Crawford. She has previous experience with dual-enrollment courses in Chemistry and Geoscience.
Dr. Stokes received her B.S. in International Affairs from Georgetown University in Washington DC and her M.S. and Ph.D. in Environmental and Water Resources Engineering
from the University of Texas at Austin.
