Kimberley Donnelly, English

“I can think of no faculty member more deserving of this award,” said Dean of CSM’s School of Liberal Arts David Robinson. “Her work in Developmental English has put CSM at the forefront of community colleges nationwide in delivering effective, creative instruction that builds on students’ unique strengths and addresses their unique needs. This kind of student-centered focus is what makes Kim a shining example of what a professor should be, and what CSM is all about.”

2022 Award Recipient

Gina Johnson

Gina Johnson, Communications

“What made Gina’s submission rise to the top is her obvious commitment to student learning through her classroom teaching,” said CSM Faculty Excellence Committee Chair and Professor Dr. Melanie Osterhouse. “First, Gina makes sure that students have the foundational knowledge and fills the gaps when they don’t. She works to create a learning community out of her classroom to provide that collaborative environment. She continually stays abreast of evolving teaching methods and has started applying real-world skills to her class as a result of her life-long learning.”
