Self-Congratulatory Post

It's been a while since I've posted, mainly because I have been insanely busy at work. Tonight, though, I am rather happy about a turn of events, and wanted to share.

Every year, the College of Engineering at my university hosts an awards banquet in the spring at the local science museum. Every year, the seniors in each discipline elect one of the faculty in their discipline as professor of the year. This year's graduating seniors were the first class that I taught when I arrived at my university, and I had the distinct pleasure of teaching that same group in two different classes. I really felt a connection with them, and have followed their academic careers with pride, especially as several are going on to excellent graduate institutions.

And, I am especially humbled, touched, and moved by the fact that tonight they elected me the Omega Chi Epsilon Chemical Engineering Professor of the Year.

Yay me. :-) I am an educator. And a damn good one.
