Earlier this month, we proudly honored six outstanding educators at the University with the Faculty Impact Award, a recognition celebrating faculty who go above and beyond in shaping student success. Created by the Faculty Experience Committee in 2021, this award shines a light on professors across all academic schools—on campus and online—who embody the spirit of mentorship, dedication, and excellence.
What makes this award especially meaningful? The nominations come directly our students. With over 200 submissions this year, it’s clear our faculty are making a difference that’s felt deeply and widely.
From late-night support and thoughtful feedback to real-world insights and unwavering encouragement, these professors are champions for our students.
Congratulations to this year’s winners:
• Christine Shugrue, School of Arts & Sciences
• Jessie Miller-Khodik, John P. Burke School of Public Service & Education
