Three full-time SAES faculty members received recognition at the Honoring Our Professor’s Excellence (HOPE) Banquet. Dr. Brian Fennig (Teaching Professor, University Foundations), Troy Forte (Teaching Assistant Professor, University Foundations), and Dr. Russell McConnell (Teaching Associate Professor, University Honors Program) received nominations for the prestigious HOPE Award. The HOPE Banquet, coordinated by the Office of Residence Life and Student Housing, allows for residential students to recognize faculty who go above and beyond in their role.
In addition to the HOPE nomination, Dr. Fennig received recognition as a Distinguished HOPE Professor – an honor reserved for faculty who have received student nominations for five years or more.
Congratulations to professors Fennig, Forte, and McConnell for this recognition of their teaching excellence. We thank you for your contributions to the student experience, to your departments, and to SAES.
