  • Biography
    Luke received his Ph.D. in Public Health from Purdue University and was the first doctoral graduate from the department. His work focuses on communication between clinicians and patients at the end of life and how high-quality communication can reduce suffering and improve quality of life until the end. Additionally, he helped design and implement an intercultural development program to increase health-focused undergraduate students’ Cultural Intelligence (CQ). Through this program, he helped develop and evaluate an intensive semester course. Moreover, he designed and implemented study abroad programs in over six countries. Luke wants to use mixed methods approaches to triangulate data to reduce unnecessary suffering and produce student-centered research.
