2020 Outstanding Full-Time Faculty of the Year

2020 Outstanding Adjunct Faculty of the Year

This year, Triton College selected Leslie Wester as outstanding full-time faculty member of the year and Patrick Kane as the outstanding adjunct faculty member of the year. 

Each year the Triton College Professional Development Committee (PDC) accepts nominations for Outstanding Faculty of the Year. One full-time faculty member and one adjunct member were selected for the 2019-2020 awards. The winners’ names are then sent to the Illinois Community College Trustees Association for the opportunity to be recognized at the state level.

Nominees are required to have demonstrated excellence in teaching, which includes explaining to the PDC how their teaching methods address activity-based learning, collaboration between instructor and student, and diversity of assessments used in the classroom. The committee also judges the nominee’s development of innovative programs, community involvement and leadership.
