Graduate student Kelli Coleman has been recognized for both the work and the attributes which have made her teaching so compelling and her students so comfortable asking her questions. Provost Arnett Mace notified the Crop and Soil Department that Kelli has received the Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award, which "documents the fact that [her] teaching performance ranks in the top ten percent of all TA's serving the University."
Kelli's contribution to the University will be recognized in the Honors Day program on April 25 at Hodgson Hall Performing and Visual Arts Center
Kelli serves as a teaching assistant for Dr. Bill Miller; this semester she's teaching two of the 3060 intro to Soils and Hydrology labs. What inspires Kelli is watching her students grasp a concept — watching those "aha" moments.
