When I was informed that I had been selected to be the Missouri History Teacher of the Year, the news hit the local paper. PSU posted a quip about it on their alumni page for Facebook, and I received a couple of cards in the mail from people there. The message on the left is from my Master's-level psychology professor. The words on the right are from the Director of Development for the College of Education.

That's an amazing accomplishment to be recognized for this distinction!...I appreciate professionals in education who go the extra mile for the students!
