I believe in making classes as connected to the real world as possible through visits to local francophone entrepreneurs in my French for Business class, visits by visiting francophone artists in my upper-level literature seminars, visits to ecological destinations in my ecological French literature class or explorations of our surroundings in my writing class. In 2015 I won a \u201cShining Star Recognition.\u201d Student-nominated award for dedication in teaching, ODU (Fall, 2015); and in 2006\u00a0I was the Winner of\u00a0 the Robert L. Stern Award for Excellence in Teaching (College of Arts and \u00a0Letters, Old Dominion University based on a five-year teaching period). I also love teaching graduate classes in GPIS and in Humanities. Directing Masters and PHD dissertations has also been so rewarding.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
