Faculty Engagement Award
The Faculty Engagement Award is presented annually to an outstanding faculty member who has gone out of their way to engage students inside and outside the classroom to create an enhanced learning environment. This award highlights a faculty member who has gone above and beyond the normal student-teacher interaction and has thus shown a personal interest in the growth of their students’ lives.

This year I was nominated and won the Faculty Engagement Award. Considering that there are many other outstanding faculty who have gone out of their way to help students at the University of Akron, I am very honored to receive this award.
