Carrie Bucki
Adjunct Faculty/Curriculum Development, Northwest Campus
Carrie moved to Texas and doesn't really work for us anymore, but we like her so much we couldn't take her picture off of our website. Besides, her current appointment is with Northwest Campus, developing the curriculum for the new High Latitude Range Management certificate program, so she's still in the loop.
