Greetings of Gratitude

Mark Ernsthausen, of Mathematics, was praised by a co-worker because, "Having only taught face-face courses, the transition to online teaching due to the current health crisis was a nightmare for me. Having to transition very quickly to online teaching was made possible with a lot of help from several great MCC colleagues including Mark. Even though we are not in the same department, Mark used his expertise in online teaching and Blackboard to assist me in setting up my Blackboard platform with many one-on one working sessions that I required given my extreme lack of experience."

Lauren Blew, Business Administration Department because, "I have always only taught face-to-face courses and never used Blackboard, moving to online classes due to the crisis created incredible problems for me. Lauren expended huge amounts to time to teach me how to conduct online classes as well as helping me to create content in Blackboard. There is no way I could have successfully transitioned without her assistance."

Jacob Bodway, Department of English & Philosophy, because, "Jacob has gone above and beyond to help colleagues' transition to an online platform. He has been fielding emails and phone calls to help people learn Blackboard. He's clearly a team player committed to the success of the students and faculty at MCC. I'm glad we have you on board, Prof. Bodway."
