Instructor thanks all for award

The Commuter

Friday, May 22, 2009

Each year that I’ve gone to the Student Government recognition ceremony, I’ve watched with humility the faculty who received the “Instructor of the Year” award. I always thought they had big shoes to fill, and wondered what it might take to be so honored by students. You cannot begin to imagine how surprised and deeply touched I was to return from the Teaching and Learning Conference to find the “Instructor of the Year” plaque in my mailbox.

I’m so sorry that I couldn’t come salute all the outgoing student leaders who I got to work with this year, or to watch the swearing in of the new student government (the only reason I didn’t plan to attend the ceremony this year was because I was an officer on the conference planning committee!).

I will forever treasure your consideration of me for this award. I don’t know who to thank, or what led to the decision, but please know that I will always, always remember this honor, and always hope to honor your decision by continually striving to fill the big shoes that this award represents.

Sincerely yours,

Chareane Wimbley-Gouveia
Faculty/Learning Center Coordinator
