I found out this week that I am one of eight faculty members from across the university who will be honored this year by the Texas State Student Foundation for inspiration and outstanding dedication to educational excellence. The Student Foundation is a group of student leaders who serve as presidential ambassadors for the university president.
The coolest thing to me about this honor is that it is bestowed by the students. They nominate you, write an essay about you, and then the faculty is selected. I didn't even know I was being considered until I received the invitation to attend the event.
It also means whatever the university decides to do, I know I am a good teacher and am reaching the students.
What's going on in the lives of Dara, Doug, Dexter, Dante and Allegra, all living happily in Austin (well, really, it's Pflugerville), Texas.
