My favorite faculty member at WMU is Karen Blaisure. Some courses I have taken with Dr. Blaisure are Intimate Relationships, Human Sexuality, and Family Policy. Dr. Blaisure helped me out of class numerous times and taught me the most in my academic career while helping me grow as a writer. The course intimate relationships helped me confirm I want to be a school counselor and teach the importance of intimate relationships.
