Senior Lecturer David Buehrle has been named a Faculty Mentor for Merrill Presidential Scholar Julia Waigner. The Merrill program honors the University of Maryland’s most successful seniors and their designated University faculty and K-12 teachers for their mentorship. Merrill Scholars and their mentors will be honored in a special ceremony on November 13.
Julia wrote that "David Buehrle took Physics II, a subject I feared, and turned it into one of my all-time favorite classes. Prof. Buerhle does an excellent job framing physical concepts in a biological light. He is approachable and always available for my questions, regardless of how relevant they were to coursework. Not only did he teach me physics, he taught me an entirely new and integrative way to think about the sciences."
