2020-2021 Faculty Achievements

Friday, May 14, 2021

This is the time of year when we recognize the success of students, faculty, and staff. In addition to the service awards that have been announced, and the achievement awards recipients that will celebrated tomorrow, I am privileged to share with the campus community faculty achievements from the past year.

I want to also express my appreciation to the North Idaho College faculty for their adaptability, creativity, and perseverance. Their commitment to Educational Excellence and Student Success was more evident than ever in the 2020-21 academic year.
