College
- Jack Rotman, Midwest Region, Lansing CC

The 2005 Teaching Excellence Award Committee considered a
pool of outstanding nominations for this award. One committee
member commented, “This was an amazing experience. I
had heard from others that it would be and they were right
--it exceeded my already heightened expectations. So many
of the applicants were truly outstanding. It was very, very
hard to provide final rankings. I found myself reading and
rereading the applications.” Another wrote, “Many
of the candidates had such an impressive list of accomplishments,
making it very difficult to rank them. I wish the award could
have been given to more than one candidate per region.”
These awardees were honored at annual AMATYC conference in
San Diego during the Opening Session. President Judy Ackerman
presented each awardee with a medallion from AMATYC, and Brenda
Bravener-Greville of Houghton Mifflin presented each with
a $500 check for professional development.
The Teaching Excellence Award is intended to honor AMATYC
members whose primary assigned duty must be delivering instruction
in an associate's degree program. Teaching excellence is the
main focus of the award.
