Distinguished Teaching Award & Award of Distinction

两性色午夜 Stark Faculty Earn Teaching Accolades

Lindsay Starkey, Ph.D., says that for her, teaching isn鈥檛 about getting awards 鈥 it鈥檚 about the impact you have on students and colleagues and perhaps most importantly, what they can teach you. Starkey, a resident of North Canton and assistant professor of history, is the recipient of the 2016-17 Distinguished Teaching Award at 两性色午夜 University at Stark.

鈥淚 have the pleasure of working with so many excellent colleagues and students from whom I have learned a great deal about teaching,鈥 Starkey said. 鈥淚 look forward to continuing to develop as a teacher in the years to follow.鈥

Starkey holds a Bachelor of Arts in history from Denison University and a Master of Arts and Ph.D. in early modern European history from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Included in the nominations submitted for Starkey by her students was high praise for her passion for history and teaching. One student wrote, 鈥淸Dr. Starkey is] one of the best teachers I鈥檝e ever had. [She] goes above and beyond to ensure understanding.鈥 Another said, 鈥淒r. Starkey has a true passion for history, and it really shows through each and every one of her lectures. It鈥檚 a pleasure being in her classroom.鈥
