Councilor – Kim Hannula

Kim Hannula is a Professor of Geoscience, Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences, and Undergraduate Research Director at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. She began serving as a GeoCUR Councilor in 2013, but also was also a councilor from 1999-2005.

“I think the goal of undergraduate education is to produce graduates who can think for themselves. There’s nothing like research to force students to struggle with their own ideas, to question their assumptions, to solve problems, and to be creative.”
