Success cannot be assessed by a measure of academic grades and technical expertise alone. Communication skills, cooperative endeavor, personal and professional conduct, responsibility, sensitivity to diverse needs, service, and enthusiasm are all crucial in the larger sense of learning. Passion for learning, commitment to excellence, and confidence in self are the qualities I attempt to model for my students.
Professor Raskin has been a participant in the student mentoring program through the Office of Mentoring and Service Learning since 2002 and participated in the SCANS program 2001 - 2005. He has organized and coordinated the Photography Department's Gallery Obscura, developed and maintained the Photography Department web site, and was Department Chair from 2008-2011.
