Celebrating the 2025 Winners
“She always goes above and beyond when interacting with students, outside of the expectations of her job. She pours her heart into caring for us Course Assistants (CAs), spending as much time as needed to make sure we feel heard and understood, and I know even outside of the semester of GEN 100 she would still be there if we needed anything. She always has a bright smile for her past students and is very intentional about making both students and faculty feel welcome.”
Marcia Evertt, Ph.D.
“The most notable thing about him is his teaching style. Learning from real-world scenarios and applying them to project-based learning is how I have found I learn best. Christian Ethics in Business was the first class I encountered this and was a class I was actually excited to attend. I would recommend this course be highly encouraged to students in any area of study, as it brought about key life questions and class facilitated discussion.”
Chad Minor, Ph.D.
“T.C. is an excellent professor. He is dedicated to his craft. He captures the heart of his teachings as well as the attention of students flawlessly. If there’s any professor that could transform learning into an experience students adore, it would be T.C. hands down. Of course, I love the courses that he is teaching because I’m interested in them, but he helps me to not let it become coursework and drudgery, but rather a key component of my life.”
T.C. Ham, Ph.D.
“She is an outstanding teacher that I have had for three semesters in a row. Professor Frankland has a way of simplifying course content to allow all to understand and get involved with it. The standard of education in her class is high; it both calls for and allows students to reach excellence if they are willing to work for it.”
Julia, Frankland, Ph.D.
