Congratulations to all of the 2020 award winners. It is wonderful to see (and experience) the meaningful and engaging instruction happening at Mason. A special congratulations to Dr. Holly Klee.

You continue to demonstrate your commitment to learning and teaching through reflective practice. It is an honor to learn alongside and from you.
