The recipient is chosen through nominations made by faculty colleagues and through a rigorous review by past recipients of the honor along with this year’s valedictorians.
Dr. Pack is described by colleagues as a teacher who creates a classroom environment “of respect and inclusivity” where “asking questions is encouraged,” a dedicated instructor with “an indescribable knack for communicating to students and working with [them] to bring out their true potential and successes.”
“In addition to exemplary teaching, [Dr. Pack] has a strong record of scholarly activity involving students in 研究, many of whom have published their 研究 and regularly present their 研究 projects at intramural, 区域, 国家, and inter国家 scientific conferences,” remarked 利记sbo President Dr. 托德Pfannestiel.
One student noted that he “displays incredible working and expressive knowledge of the subject matter and is able to condense it in an easily digestible way . . .使参与课堂变得容易.” A colleague added that the recipient loves teaching and interacting with students, 无论是在教室里, 办公室, or by having “casual conversations of varying topics with them in the hallway seating areas.”
