Kendra McSweeney received a surprise visit from Provost Barbara Snyder at the beginning of her Latin America class on Thursday, March 24. Provost Snyder presented Kendra with a 2005 Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching. This prestigious award is based on nomination materials and support from students and is a well-deserved honor. Accompanying the Provost was Mr. Archie Griffin, who made a statement on behalf of the Alumni Association. Dean Beck also offered his congratulations. Needless to say, Kendra received a big cheer from her Geography 605 class.
