Your work is important and your support is crucial! A special thank you to all faculty who have stepped up to serve as employee advisors for their fellow faculty members, your support, institutional knowledge, and calm third party presence can make such a huge difference in times of stress.

Dr. Kristina Beckman

thepimalibrarian — 2024-04-15 16:40:52 UTC

This came from a student that emailed me, "One of the best professors I've ever had. I adored her as a person and as a prof. She was extremely caring towards me and always ready to help. She was always thoughtful about her assignments and extremely encouraging. I truly wish she taught more courses so there was more time to spend with her."

Thank you for all that you do!

bdohaniuk — 2024-04-15 16:55:37 UTC

Hurray for the faculty who give the extra effort to allow students to make quiz and exam corrections for partial credit. That's another whole layer of learning and mastery. You know who you are! Sending lots of love your way. Thank you!

Music in America!

Great job team!

Michelle Anderson

thepimalibrarian — 2024-04-15 17:51:44 UTC

This is from a student email in December, "Michele Anderson is an amazing teacher for all math levels, she was on point and helped all of those who had questions. Quizzes were easy, and the exams had nothing that was surprising (although studying is recommended with more obscure questions that can catch someone off guard if not prepared.). Overall an amazing teacher that I would recommend!"

Joe Brewer : )

aclifford20 — 2024-04-15 19:51:31 UTC

Lynnae's student employee nominated her for Student Employee Supervisor of the Year with this as the reason, "She is akin to a maternal figure, a workplace mentor, if you will. Continuously, she demonstrates a keen interest in the well-being of her team, regularly inquiring about their days. She prioritizes her students above her professional duties, recognizing the importance of embodying a leader rather than merely a boss or supervisor. Despite the overwhelming workload she manages, she consistently allocates time to guide her students in the proper completion of tasks, addressing questions, and attentively listening to any concerns they may have. She possesses effective communication skills, empathy, decisiveness, empowerment, and cultural intelligence."

aclifford20 — 2024-04-15 19:59:21 UTC

Charles Wacker has supported the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships over the years with various projects with the applied manufacturing student club , including but not limited to, creating awards and handouts for our events.

Dr. Krysta Beardy is a one of a kind instructor who truly embodies teaching. She gives students through breakdowns of coursework and always includes impactful tidbits of information that are helpful and aid in the success of her classes. Her management stye and feedback have been a breath of fresh air for me this semester. I couldn't say enough about her and her teaching style. I believe education is a huge part of our generational success and the teachers who build it. Continue to be amazing Dr. B!

iroark1 — 2024-05-06 04:06:44 UTC

I am grateful for the expertise, work, dedication, and most of all-care- that our faculty and staff instructors give on behalf of all of our students/learners at Pima. You are central to our purpose as an institution, and your tireless efforts deserve much more praise that is given. Equally, you are central to economic development efforts and breaking cycles of poverty in our community, and that is the work to be celebrated and rewarded.

Ian
