Dr. Danelle’s Story

“I came to Doane for the opportunity to teach engaged students and work with supportive, caring colleagues!

The collaboration across campus at every level makes Doane incredibly unique. Seeing meaningful collaboration between faculty, staff, and students is gratifying. I observed this when I first came to Doane, and it continues today!

I am so appreciative of the wonderful relationships I have built with students, colleagues, and staff over the last twenty years. Doane is a very important part of my life!

This is a place where you can observe your contributions change lives. I have worked with so many students over the years and developed life-long relationships. In particular, I have witnessed how traveling abroad transforms students!

What excites me most about this campaign is increasing study abroad opportunities and trying to raise our profile. This is a wonderful place to work and learn; I want more folks to know about us. I am also very thankful for Dr. Hughes’s ethical leadership. It is wonderful to come to work each day knowing that those you work for care as much about the students as you do.”
