Two days, two causes for celebration. First this, from Dr. Teresa Rothrock:
1. "Congratulations to Noelle Hurt, who has been selected as
the ECU recipient of the OCTE’s Geraldine Burns Award for Excellence in
English Studies.
"Many years ago, the Oklahoma Council of Teachers of English
created this award to honor Ms. Geraldine Burns, a former Oklahoma
Teacher of the Year in public schools. After serving as an officer in the
OCTE since 1966, she retired from teaching in 1988. This award honors the
contributions of one teacher’s outstanding career in public school English
classes by recognizing the promise in future public school English
teachers. One undergraduate student from each institution of
higher education in Oklahoma receives the award each year, which
includes an certificate, a one-year
membership in OCTE, an open seat on the OCTE Executive Board, and free
registration to the conference and luncheon.
"This year’s pool of candidates
was particularly competitive! The final decision, however, was based on
evaluation by the English Dept. faculty, nominees’ GPA, and their demonstration
of teaching skills (e.g., internship,
OLAF, etc.). Noelle will be
recognized at the OCTE Spring Conference (April 3, 2013; see octe.ecok.edu) as well as at the awards banquets and ceremonies of
the Department of English and Languages and the Department of
Education.
"Noelle’s conference presentation paper from last November made it into the proceeding publication."
“'CONGRATULATIONS Noelle! Your submission has been accepted by the Scissor TALE Review committee for publication in their upcoming special Language and Linguistics Student Conference proceedings issue.'”
