	Charisse Hake has been an instructor in the math department since 2002 and has been teaching the Ecampus MTH 105 course since spring term 2009.
	Jean Moule is a faculty member in Teacher Education in the Oregon State University College of Education. From 1998 until her retirement as Associate Professor Emeritus of Early Childhood and Elementary Education in 2011 she specialized in multicultural issues in education; she wrote the book, Cultural Competence: A Primer for Educators.
	Brenda is the advisor for the Ecampus Anthropology major (B.A./B.S.). When the degree was first offered online Brenda was the program coordinator as well as the advisor and she continues to work closely with Elaine Hayashi, the current SLCS Ecampus coordinator, to provide training and development opportunities for online anthropology instructors and TAs. Brenda has always believed a key to a good online educational experience for instructors and students is communication, and the discussion board is one venue where this can take place.
