We love you, Dr. Butcher, we do
Y'know, I'd say that they never give out these types of awards to people who deserve them this much...except they just did.
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education have named Dr. Carmen Acevedo Butcher at Shorter College the 2006 Georgia Professor of the Year...
“Dr. Butcher stands out among her peers because of her academic credentials and scholarly production,” said Dr. Craig Shull, Shorter College provost. “Equally remarkable is that fact that she is not only a good scholar but also a good teacher. She uses Internet technology and interactive research to involve her students in the learning process.
"She is really skilled at interaction with students. On top of all of that is a wonderful personality. She is always friendly, always positive, always looking forward and always talking about what we can do. A lot of time when scholars are productive, they are very focused on their research and have little time for other things. It is pretty rare for a professor to be that productive and that personable with her students and her peers. Shorter College is fortunate to count Carmen Butcher as one of our own.”
All true. All true. Every. Last. Word.
And, honestly, that description might be a bit modest.
We love you, Carmen Butcher. Congratulations.
