Jeffrey La
Favre, Ph.D.,
Coordinator of Language Learning Center
Dr. La Favre has been responsible for the transition to
digital technologies in the LLC at John Carroll. Students
now enjoy the convenience of online media and other technologies
which enhance the language curriculum. He has also offered
workshops to faculty through the Faculty Technology Innovation
Center on various aspects of instructional technology.
Before coming to John Carroll, he was a soil microbiologist
at Cornell University and Celpril Industries in California.
His research on the kinetics of hydrogen gas metabolism by
bacteria in the root-nodule rhizosphere helped pave the way
toward an understanding of a role of hydrogen gas in plant
growth. This avenue of research has culminated recently in
patent applications by others for the use of hydrogen gas
to enhance growth of plants of agronomic importance. He earned
his Ph.D. in Soil Microbiology from the University of California,
Riverside and M.S. in Biology (mycology) and B.A. in Biology
from California State University, Los Angeles.
