Congratulations to Mary Szybist of the Lewis and Clark English Department on being named the 2010 Teacher of the Year!
Hey everyone out there in the blogosphere! This will be my first blog-type post on the internet since livejournal became passé (2004). So, I’d like to talk about Teacher of the Year 2010. In the fall, I became involved with the group in the Society that was responsible for helping to choose the Teacher of the Year at Lewis & Clark. We collect letters from the entire student body and with their guidance, choose what Lewis & Clark students believe to be the best teacher at the school.
I truly believe that this is one of the most important functions that the society performs and its both a privilege and a responsibility to be part of the Teacher of the Year committee. We’ve spent a lot of time revising our protocol for selecting the winner and we think that we have nearly perfected the selection process. Yet, without Lewis & Clark’s student’s letters, it will all be for naught! So please, if you’re reading this, and have had a teacher who has made an incredible impact on your education, send in a letter. Recognize your favorite professor! They like it when you do, I promise.

I’m really excited to read everyone’s letters. Well that’s my plug for Teacher of the Year submissions. Hope everyone has been having a great semester so far, Spring is just around the corner! I’m stoked.
Please turn in your letters to Alison Walcott — awalcott (at) lclark.edu
