New Excellence in Teaching Award Display Installed

Join us as we honor our heritage of exemplary faculty with our newly installed Excellence in Teaching Award display. The new Excellence in Teaching display was installed in Looper Hall last week and featured last year's winner, Jenna LaFlamme. Ms. LaFlamme serves as one of our English instructors and the Assistant Director of the Distinguished Scholars Program. We are blessed to have you as part of the HC family!
