From these nominations, a university committee selected seven faculty to receive 2023 Eagle Teaching Excellence Awards. The winners will be honored during Chancellor Joe Gow’s opening remarks for the fall semester.
They are:
- Marisa Barbknecht, Microbiology
- Enilda Delgado, Sociology & Criminal Justice
- Tammy Fisher, Music/SOE
- Tyler Gabbard-Rocha, Global Cultures & Languages
- Deanna Maynard, Educational Studies
- Laurie Miller, Economics
- Keely Rees, Public Health & Community Health Education
This is the third of seven stories highlighting the winners.
Enilda Delgado, Sociology & Criminal Justice
Started at UWL: 2001
Courses: I teach in the Department of Sociology & Criminal Justice. My teaching rotation includes Demography, Social Stratification, the first and third courses in the Quantitative Methods sequence, and Introduction to Sociology. This next term, I will also teach Health Care and Illness.
Background: Prior to teaching at UWL, I was a sociology doctoral student at UW-Madison, and I taught part-time at UW-Stevens Point.
Favorite part of teaching: My favorite part of teaching is connecting the relevance of current events and scholarship to students’ lives. I enjoy modeling discussions and engaging students in productive and respectful conversations on social issues. It is always exciting to observe students, in and out of the classroom, effectively and curiously challenge others’ thinking as they question their own stance on controversial sociological topics.
