 2010 Quality Awards

Nominated by their students and selected by a committee of Master Teachers, the Distinguished Teaching Awards went to: Adam Keller, fulltime faculty member in the Physical Sciences who teaches organic chemistry; Bert Vonderahe, adjunct faculty member in Landscape Design/Build, who teaches Landscaping for Homeowners; John Wallace, fulltime faculty member in the Developmental Education Department who teaches mathematics; and Tina Berry, fulltime faculty member in the Nursing Department, who teaches primarily obstetrics and medical/surgical nursing.

The Staff Employee of the Year was selected by the President from the 12 monthly award winners in the previous year. Heather Crites, multimedia database web developer, took home the honors.

The Team Award debuted in 2010 to recognize teams that have enhanced or improved a process at the college. The gold medal went to the Testing Center team, which revamped the testing process to reduce waiting times for students from hours to minutes. Michelle Teasley, supervisor of the Testing Center, led the effort.

Silver medals went to the Credit Bank Conversion team and the H1N1 Vaccination team.
