Dr. Kacy Morris was recently awarded the Sandy Beaver Excellence in Teaching Award! This is awarded to outstanding faculty in Franklin College who have shown "a sustained commitment to high-quality instruction," which Dr. Morris has certainly done over her 16 years in our Department! She served as Lecturer (2008-2014), Senior Lecturer (2014-2023), and Principal Lecturer (2023 - present). It's hard to quantify her contributions, but one amazing number is that she has taught over 7,600 undergrads just since her promotion to Senior Lecturer in 2014!

There’s a common thread between parenting, teaching, statistics, and engineering for Drew Abney.
