national attention for his novel use of podacsting,
video and wikis in the classroom. Dr. Walters is also one of the
most productive researchers in the department, having mentored
numerous research students who have presented their results at
local, regional and national meetings as well appearing in peer

Dr. Walters is involved with outreach efforts. Each year Dr.
Walters makes presentations at local libraries as part of
National
Chemistry Week. Dr. Walters has also served the university and
department with distinction. He has been a
member of countless committees and has always worked to improve
the department and the quality of students NKU produces.
