Robin Cresiski is the Director of CAST and an Associate Professor of Biology at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. CAST supports faculty in their goals of being the most inspiring, effective, and inclusive professors they can be for our Goucher students.  She provides workshops, observations, and consultations to faculty, helping them design and redesign courses, assignments, and classroom approaches to enhance student success. Prior to her arrival at Goucher in 2017, she was a faculty member, department chair, vice provost and interim provost at Nevada State College, a small public access college outside of Las Vegas. She completed her doctorate in Immunobiology at Yale University in 2007 and her bachelor’s degree in Biology at Haverford College in 2001.

“The kind of practices that CAST will be helping faculty employ are really designed and have been shown to be successful in making a very rigorous [curriculum] accessible to all students from diverse backgrounds.” –Robin Cresiski
