CITATION FOR DR. KAREN ROSENBECKER - COLLEGE TEACHING AWARD 2015

 

The CAMWS Subcommittee on Teaching Awards is pleased to award the Excellence in College Teaching Award to Dr. Karen Rosenbecker of Loyola University - New Orleans.  Dr. Rosenbecker has been teaching at Loyola since 2007 and has taught a variety of courses during her tenure.  In her classroom, she fosters an atmosphere of “kindness, respect, and inclusion.”  By laying this groundwork, she is hopeful that students can engage with the academic material and fall in love with classics.  She strives to differentiate for the diverse student body which she teaches.  She developed an online platform in which to teach Greek to students who are digital-age natives which has effectively combined the ancient and modern worlds.  Her students and colleagues alike appreciate her dedication and intellectualism.  We are pleased to award the CAMWS Excellence in College Teaching Award to Dr. Karen Rosenbecker.
