Distinguished Teaching Faculty
Did you know that not one, not two, but THREE of our GSWS faculty and GSWS affiliate faculty members have been recognized as one of SOU’s distinguished teachers? Every year, up to four SOU faculty members are awarded the Southern Oregon University Distinguished Teaching Award. This award recognizes faculty not only for their roles as incredible teachers, but also for their roles as mentors, advisors, and role models. The GSWS program is proud to say that three of our faculty have received this award over the past four years.
Any student who has taken classes from these professors can surely speak to their deservedness of this award. We have all benefited from their education and support and we will continue to benefit well into the future. Thank you again to Dr. Carey Jean Sojka, Dr. Kylan Mattias de Vries, and Dr. Alena Ruggerio for all the work you have done for the GSWS program.
