Congratulations, Sue. Thanks to you and all of your great work with the film classes, I’ve been able to teach one every semester. How terrific it must be now to be able to go the movies any old time you want.
Dear Sue, Your recognition as Professor Emerita is fantastic and well-deserved. Your intelligence and wit always shines–both in person and whenever you put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). Your students were very fortunate. It was a joy to be one of your colleagues at the Tarpon Springs Campus for lo those many years. Congratulations!
Congratulations, Sue!
Congratulations, Sue. I so enjoyed teaching with you on the Tarpon Springs Center/Campus.
Congratulations Sue! Your honor is well deserved, and I am very grateful for your advice and your friendship over the last dozen years.
According to my diploma and records, I have a dual degree through College of Ed. AND College of Arts and Letters because I took extra literature coursework. My degree is Junior College Education and English. (Ta dah!) I’m also really proud of the Russia student trip I led even though it got cut because of space. Thanks to all for the good thoughts.
Congratulations, Sue! You were one of my first mentors when I started at SPC, and think about you often. You definitely deserve this honor!
Congrats, Sue! You deserve this recognition for all the seeds you have planted with students over the years. A generation is growing up with a love of the humanities, film history and with an appreciation for the arts all because of you. Thank you for being a colleague and friend over the years..
Congrats, Sue! You are definitely missed at the Tarpon Springs Campus !
Your creativity, humor and flexibility with students is what I recall as outstanding!
Barbara T,
Congratulations and bravo, Sue! You always worked so hard and taught with such great organization and expertise. I miss laughing with you and enjoying your wonderful sense of humor!
Sue,
Congratulations! You’ve been a great colleague and mentor for me during my time at SPC. You certainly deserve this honor.
Congratulations Sue! Thank you for being a good friend and colleague to all of us. You were and continue to be a great role model of a caring and effective educator. I learned more from you than you know.
Sue, thank you for all of your advice as I began my instructional journey in teaching composition courses at the college. Also, I’ll never forget your quick wit and all the fun of building our own “criterion collection” at the library.
You did a great job and really deserve this honor! Your students definitely had their lives enriched by your love of teaching. Now enjoy this time!
Susan, I will miss your “wit-isms.” I will always remember our times in the LSC, especially the days you dressed for the 60 degrees and below Beta building. Yep, the LSC was in Beta, Alpha, Gamma, and NuTech in the good ole days. I wish you “the best is yet to come!”
Congratulations, Sue!
