Meet our SOAR Winners from Fall 2009:

Congratulations to our November Featured Faculty, Jamie Gifford (English)

Jamie teaches ENG 108 and ENG 109 and gives her students “free” daily attendance points for showing up and on time as a way to keep student attendance up. She also has provided a number to students where they can text her if they for some reason can’t be in class. To read more of Jamie’s response, as well as all the other faculty members' descriptions of how they view attendance policies and support the importance of students being in class, please visit our Featured Faculty Blog .
