Excellence in Teaching

On November 4, I had the pleasure of attending the Governor’s Professor of the Year Award luncheon in Columbia with Jyron Baxter, Department Chair for Information Technology, and his wife, Aramis. As the 2010 recipient of the York Technical College President’s Award for Instructional Excellence, Jyron and thirty-six faculty from other SC institutions were nominated for the Governor’s Professor of the Year award. Congratulations to Jyron who was recognized and presented an award by Mr. Craig Garner, President, SC Higher Education Foundation, and Ms. Betty Davidson, Office of the Governor (pictured above). Last year, Dr. Janie Sigmon was recognized as our nominee for the Governor’s Professor of the Year award. She was presented an award by Ken Wingate, Chairman, SC Commission on Higher Education (pictured below).

I am grateful to all of our faculty for their hard work and dedication to helping our students reach their goals! Thank you!
