2023 Administrative Faculty Award Winners
Department / Organization: Admin Faculty Council
Join the Admin Faculty Council (AFC) in congratulating this year's award winners: Kathleen Feighny and Dr. Megan Sanders
The Connected Learning Community Award is given to an administrative faculty member who has demonstrated and modeled in their work at Mines the concepts of the connected learning community.? This year's awardee is Kathleen Feighny. In her 20+ years with Mines, Kathleen truly embodies the spirit of building connected communities through lifelong learning and continuous quality improvement. She takes the time to truly understand our people and their work, and what drives our success. She’s a natural educator, and shares the right information, with the right people, at the right time bringing people, ideas and resources together with intention.
The Admin Faculty Employee of the Year Award seeks to recognize an administrative faculty member who embodies Mines’ mission, produces quality work, and consistently displays characteristics valued and appreciated through their every-day job expectations.? This year's awardee is Dr. Megan Sanders. In her 5+ years on campus she has proven to many of her colleagues that she is an asset to the Mines community. She leads and supports program assessment, course level assessment, teaching evaluations, assessment plans for research proposals, etc. She is one of the main reasons why teaching faculty have been able to engage in pedagogical research and writing grants. Her work on the faculty teaching evaluations has been incredibly valuable since it directly aligns with the institution's focus on teaching and learning.
