CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2022 STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION TEACHING AWARD RECIPIENTS
Faculty, staff and students gathered at Ohio State’s Longaberger Alumni House on March 30, 2022, to recognize outstanding faculty at the college’s annual Student Government Association (SGA) Teaching Awards event. The faculty who received awards were chosen by the college’s dental and dental hygiene students for their teaching excellence in the areas of pre-clinical, didactic, clinical and specialty instruction. Welcoming the attendees to the event, Dean Carroll Ann Trotman said, “The faculty who have been selected as SGA award recipients have been described by our students as ‘wonderful,’ ‘patient,’ ‘helpful,’ ‘supportive,’ and ‘exemplary.’ The word ‘exemplary’ is especially important because it means ‘serving as a model for excellence,’ and ‘representing the best.’ It is my pleasure to participate in this event that recognizes the outstanding work of our dedicated faculty members.”
