Dr. Karyl Daughters began teaching at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University in the fall of 2000. She is committed to providing experiential learning opportunities by incorporating service-learning and undergraduate social scientific research projects into her classes. Her teaching and research are in the area of relational communication, with a specific focus on committed romantic relationships.
