Rounding out her summer, Gallagher also published an article in the journal College Teaching describing her classroom research that examines how the stories and jokes used by professors in their teaching can enhance student test performance.

"Now I'm just thankful to have my students back – they motivate and inspire me each and every day." About Thiel College Thiel College (https://www.thiel.edu/ End
