FRYMIRE EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AWARD GOES TO HAWKINS AND WELCH
Frymire Excellence in Teaching Award Goes to Hawkins and Welch
At the spring commencement ceremony, the Frymire Excellence in Teaching Award was presented to Kay Hawkins, instructor and program coordinator for our paralegal technology program, along with Jennifer Welch, associate professor of biology.
Richard and Phyllis Frymire have provided consistent support to Madisonville Community College since 1968 when then-Senate Majority Leader Frymire introduced legislation that authorized the creation of MCC. The Frymires have provided leadership and financial support to every major capital campaign conducted in the college’s history. In addition, their generous contributions have provided student scholarships, support for the Glema Mahr Center for the Arts, and annual faculty development, as well as the award for teaching excellence. Beyond their financial investment, the Frymires invest considerable time and energy to advocate on behalf of MCC. They are champions of higher education and leaders in our community.
The Frymire Excellence in Teaching Award was created to celebrate faculty who have been recognized for their excellence in classroom instruction, commitment to student success, high academic standards, and service to both the institution and the communities that they serve.
