Why Is Brian Coppola Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Brian P. Coppola is a chemistry professor at the University of Michigan. Raised in Methuen, Massachusetts, and Derry, New Hampshire, Coppola is the eldest of four children of Frank and Shirley Coppola. He graduated from Pinkerton Academy in 1974. In 1978, he received a B.S. from the University of New Hampshire, then was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1984, having carried out research under the supervision of Barry M. Trost. In 1982, he joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater. He was hired at the University of Michigan in 1986 as a Visiting Assistant Professor, and then as a Lecturer . In 1996–1997, his tenure case established a new policy within the UM College of Literature, Science and the Arts: that faculty positions within the College might be based on discipline-centered teaching and learning, that is, the interdisciplinary combination of the discipline and the learning sciences. The details of his case, and that of three other individuals with comparable career paths, is the basis of the book Balancing Acts by Mary Taylor Huber. Coppola was appointed as Arthur F. Thurnau Professor in 2001, and became a Full Professor of Chemistry in 2001–2002. He served as the Associate Chair of the chemistry department at the University of Michigan from 2002–2012. In 2013, he was appointed as the department's first Associate Chair for Educational Development & Practice, where he directs the department's programs for student professional development . In 2022, his work was included as a chapter in the second volume of Contemporary Pioneers in Teaching and Learning by Hefer Bembenutty.
