Bio summary

Professor Alberts' goal as a teacher is to provoke her students to ask questions about the world around them. As a communications professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, her goal is to help them develop the skills to answer those questions. Alberts' commitment to her students is evident not only in her frequent teaching of undergraduate courses, in addition to her graduate course load, but through her interactions with her students outside of the classroom. It is not unusual for students to go to her for coaching on job interviews and negotiations, as well as advice on solving conflicts.
