HAPS is more than an organization - it is people. It is because of the people that I can call HAPS my family and home. It is a place for me to be me - sometimes a little goofy, but supportive, serious, and focused when I need to be. It is a place to ask questions, discuss relevant topics from diverse perspectives, and grow as educators. HAPS is most of all a place that supports academic excellence in a topic we all hold dear and close - A&P!

I am thankful for the friendships made with some of most talented A&P colleagues - you make me laugh, think, and grow as an educator all while keeping my stress low and sanity high!

HAPSters are a wonderful group to commiserate with! When I'm struggling to deliver my courses in a manner that matches expectations, HAPSters provide an empathetic sounding board to share experiences/frustrations but also to provide advice about how to approach things differently. I have great appreciation for the organization.

As my school prepares for an accreditation study, I have been asked to reflect on my own professional development and discuss how I remain current in my field and as an educator. One thing is profoundly clear; HAPS is the common thread connecting each step in my evolution as an educator, scientist, and servant to the greater anatomy and physiology higher education community. I had no idea that someone like me could make an impact in this world when I first started, but the as luck would have it, the people in HAPS provided me with a safe place to share my ideas and contribute in a worthwhile manner. So to put it simply, HAPS means EVERYTHING to me professionally and personally.

I can't express how thankful I am to those hardworking individuals who gave many of us the opportunity to learn about the culture and area where each conference has been located. I now know in hindsight that I was afforded a chance to be a part of a bigger picture that influenced my own classroom and enriched the lives of many students.
