VIPs of Teaching recognized by MSOE
| Published: 05/25/2009 |

Each academic quarter, graduating students at MSOE are invited to nominate an individual from their own secondary school experience or their working experience -- someone who not only "knew her/his stuff," but could communicate it, and whose commitment to others included encouragement of further educational and career goals. In more than a small way, these individuals had a positive and significant influence on the life of one or more students.
At a time of much concern over the educational skills and competencies of our nation's young people, MSOE wishes to recognize those who have had a significant influence on their students' future educational achievement and career goals. Our wish is to spotlight not only MSOE graduates, but also thank those, who in some important way, motivated them, inspired them and helped make it happen for them.
