SHSU professors have been honored with the 2023 Faculty Excellence Awards. The recipients are Kandi Tayebi, Excellence in Teaching; Lisa Brown, Excellence in Service; Helena Halmari, Excellence in Scholarly & Creative Accomplishments; Adannaa Alexander, Non-Tenure Track Teaching; and Brandon Strubberg, David Payne Academic Community Engagement Award.
Kandi Tayebi has spent 30 years in the classroom finding new and innovative ways to connect with her students.
Lisa Brown’s dedication to service has resulted in an overwhelming list of projects that have advanced SHSU and the communities she is a part of.
By the time Helena Halmari joined SHSU’s English faculty in 1995, she had already established herself as a remarkable scholar with four separate master’s degrees.
Adannaa Alexander’s self-described teaching philosophy is to equip students with knowledge, skills, attitudes, tools and resources that they can apply in real world settings.
And, one commonality that can be found in all of Brandon Strubberg’s technical writing courses is his emphasis on understanding professional situations.
