On September 10, our university gathered to honor outstanding educators at the annual Celebration of Teaching Excellence. This event would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of several members of the office of Academic, Faculty, and Student Affairs.

The event was hosted by Dr. Valarie Fleming and Dr. Cindy Russell, alongside Chancellor Buckley. 

We are pleased to recognize the following individuals for their exceptional support and coordination:

Antoine Beane

Emily Gerrell

Dr. Judith Nyabando

Porsha Toney

Dr. Judi Waldrip

Alesha White

Lisa Zeigler

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence were instrumental in the success of this year’s celebration. As Dr. Amy Hall noted:

“The team did a great job, and I couldn’t have done it without everyone involved.”

We extend our sincere thanks to each of these team members for their contributions to this meaningful event. Your work continues to elevate teaching and learning across our institution.
