Welcome

My name is Camille Peterson Banger, but I go by Cami, and I am extremely grateful to be in the field of teaching and learning. I was born and raised and continue to live in rural Wisconsin, where at the age of 5 I was using a custom-made chalkboard to help a row of stuffed animals learn math and reading. While I spent a significant amount of my career in the industry, helping others to learn and continuing to learn has always been my greater purpose.

On my learning journey, I received an associate degree from Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Computer Information Systems, a Bachelor of Science in Information and Communication Technologies, a Master of Science in Career and Technical Education from the University of Wisconsin Stout, and a Doctorate in Higher Eduction from the University of North Dakota.

I have over 20 years of experience working in the information technology industry, specializing in developing, implementing, and training users on software solutions that meet a business’ needs. After receiving my master's in 2015, I started to teach at UW-Stout as an adjunct lecturer in the Information and Communication Technology program and joined the program full-time in the fall of 2019, where I continue my pursuit as a Senior Lecturer, developing course curriculum, leading course direction, facilitating learning, and providing mentorship and guidance to students.

I believe each learner is unique, with unique needs, experiences, and goals and a one-size-fits-all approach to education does not assist students in their success. Motivating and engaging students within the curriculum and learning and allowing the room for making mistakes and learning from them, through a student-centered approach is at the core of my teaching philosophy.

On a personal level, I am married to my best friend Chet. We have two amazing children and two incredible dogs. We enjoy playing video and card games, traveling to Texas to visit family, listening to our oldest play his violin, and watching our kids grow up into great human beings. I also enjoy playing competitive volleyball, putting together puzzles, reading, binge-watching movies, and listening to music.
