Eugenia Paulus - 2008 Award for Excellence in Teaching

Four Excellence in Teaching Award winners named by Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees

The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities Board of Trustees has given the system's highest academic honor, Excellence in Teaching Awards, to four faculty members from Rochester Community and Technical College, Riverland Community College, St. Paul College and North Hennepin Community College.

The four honorees were selected from among 22 Board of Trustees Outstanding Educators. They are Robin Fruth-Dugstad of Rochester Community and Technical College, Suzette Overby of Riverland Community College, Daniel Paulnock of St. Paul College and Eugenia Paulus of North Hennepin Community College.

"The Board of Trustees Excellence in Teaching Awards are designed to acknowledge and reward exceptional professional accomplishments of individuals and to encourage ongoing excellence in teaching," said Dan McElroy, who chairs the board's Academic and Student Affairs Committee. "We know it is becoming increasingly important for the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities to be able to demonstrate to potential students, to employers, and to taxpayers that our academic programs and services meet objective and high standards for quality."

Reviewers cited: Commitment to student success is obvious in the ways she employs technology, student groups, one-to-one meetings, virtual environments and paperwork. She has been involved with the On-Line Web-Based Learning project at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst to foster increased student success in her college. She ensures that an American Chemical Society standardized test is administered at every level of instruction. She holds a bachelor's degree in chemistry, botany and zoology and a master's degree in chemistry, both from Bangalore University; a master's degree in chemistry from St. Joseph's College and a doctorate in chemistry from Bharathidasan University, both in India.
