Nominate Your Most Impressive Teacher

Professors Beverly Ferrucci, Anne-Marie Mallon, Paul Vincent, and Therese Seibert all have something very special in common: In the past several years each have been recognized by alumni, students, and their peers for their achievements as outstanding faculty members at KSC.

Presented annually since 1971, the KSC Alumni Association Distinguished Teacher Award recognizes excellence in teaching at Keene State College, based upon the following criteria: excellence in classroom teaching, encouragement of independent thinking, rapport with students in and out of the classroom, and effective student advising. Candidates must be full-time, tenure-track faculty who have taught a minimum of three years at Keene State College.

So if you know a KSC professor who fits that criteria, please nominate him or her for the award. They deserve it!

We have moved up the deadline this year to help alleviate the crush at the end of the semester, so please collect documentation and letters of support and submit to the Alumni & Parent Relations office, Barry Alumni House (in the Alumni Center) by 4:00 p.m., March 11, 2011.

Please let us know if you could use a little help reaching out to alumni to help build the submission portfolio.

You can download the nomination form on the Distinguished Teacher Award page. You’ll find a list of previous recipients there as well.

In recognition for their achievement each honoree receives a plaque and an honorarium, and their portrait is hung in the Mason Library among those of previous recipients.

On behalf of the Alumni Association and Distinguished Teacher Committee, we thank you for your efforts.
