Faculty Recognition

Professor Kevin Tankersly was awarded the Light Your World award from Phi Kappa Chi.

All students at Baylor, not just members of that fraternity, are encouraged to nominate a faculty member who has made a positive impact in the lives of their students. His nomination by Lauren Holcomb, a sophomore JOU major, mentioned his “above and beyond approach to teaching.”

Professor Sharon Gripp has received an award from the National Federation of Press Women for a column that appeared in the Waco Tribune-Herald “Why we should care about the Jan. 6 hearings.”

The column won first place in the Texas Press Women’s competition and was advanced to the national level. She will travel to Cincinnati, Ohio, in June to receive the award.
