Teacher honored
OLYMPIA — The Evergreen State College recently honored Kate Reavey of Peninsula College with a Teacher of Excellence Award.
This honor recognizes teachers who have had a significant impact on the lives of students.
Incoming Evergreen students were asked to nominate their former instructors for the award, presented by the college’s Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Dr. Michael Zimmerman.
“Most of us can point to a pivotal experience in our education when a teacher noticed, encouraged or influenced us. Maybe that teacher bolstered our confidence; maybe she or he changed the course of our lives,” Zimmerman said.
“Because Evergreen values the art and practice of high quality teaching, we ask incoming students to consider former instructors who made a profound positive impact.”
Former student April Watkins nominated Reavey.
