When we worked together at Delphi, she was pursuing her doctorate and teaching classes at IWU. It was very easy to recognize one of her passions is teaching. What ever assignement she was working on, she took the opportunity to teach and mentor others in the organization. I have learned so much about quality systems from just interacting with Joanne as she led the quality systems activities for the division. I also had the opportunity to present to one of her classes at IWU, it was very easy to see that Joanne had created a participative learning environment for her students. We need more educators like Joanne, those that can create and nuture a learning environment and bring in real world experience." and "Joanne Barnes’ recent doctorate and past experience with Delphi Electronics characterize her as a veritable scholar practitioner.
