Faculty Spotlight/Appreciation |
|
At the close of the spring semester, we asked ISU students to give a shout-out to professors and instructors who have made an impact on their education and experience at ISU. Over the next few Issues of ROAR Weekly, we will highlight some of those professors and instructors in a “Professor Appreciation” series, as a thank you for all that they do to help our students achieve their academic goals. |
