The 2017 New Horizons Conference has come and gone, but a lasting memory from the event is the recognition of two outstanding faculty members for their superb contributions to the art of teaching.
The Chancellor’s Award for Teaching Excellence is presented annually to one teaching faculty member who distinctly represents the teaching excellence found at VCCS colleges. This year’s recipient, Professor Isidora Kessel, assistant professor of Spanish at Thomas Nelson Community College, received a cash award of $5,000 and a VCCS stole.
