Do Something Great

Dr. Allen Zimmerman
Associate Professor
Engineering Technology and Technical Physics
Agricultural Technical Institute

Dr. Zimmerman has taken significant steps to raise awareness about diversity issues on the campus of the Agricultural Technical Institute in Wooster. He has become an expert on introducing students to the tenets of diversity, individual differences and human dignity. He helped develop an orientation course for all ATI students that covers these issues, as well as a capstone course for engineering technology majors that emphasizes diversity. When he began teaching technical math, he was troubled by the usage of all male names and pronouns in the in-house text used, so he co-authored a new, more inclusive text. He has shared his techniques and philosophies through journal publications and national and international presentations, and has been recognized with several prominent national awards for his scholarship and teaching."Allen not only espouses diversity, he also lives his beliefs," wrote one colleague.
