Hi, my name is Becky Dubois; I am going on my 25th year as an instructor at UL Lafayette in the Hospitality Management program. I’m part of the Food Safety and Sanitation cohort. This is my first OER program, so I am looking forward to learning more about developing OER courses and contributing to my team.

Hello! My name is Alin Basgul Yigiter. I am currently a faculty at South Louisiana Community College. I am a retired full professor in medicine Licensed in Istanbul Turkey. I am thrilled and excited to be a part of this amazing project. I would love to be in a team to create a wonderful source for Human nutrition. We know that most preventable diseases can be treated with healthy nutrition and lifestyle. This project is goanna increase the number of students who can spread the word about food and health relationship, and it would be very beneficial to our community. I believe the best and most painless treatment is to prevent disease rather than treating them with medicine and surgeries. I hate seeing people suffering from diseases. I believe this collective work will increase my experience, vision and learnings about human nutrition.

I was a part of the Culinary Arts team at Nicholls that created ten OER course texts essentially making the Associate of Science degree text free. I have also created senior level OERs as well.

I enjoyed this TSP Phase 1. I learned more things this time than I did in the previous project I was a part of!
I’m a cohort leader again this time around, but what was the struggle for me the last time was having to manage 5 cohorts. This time around, managing one cohort really allows me to connect with each of the members.
Good luck to everyone as we move into Phase 2!
