August 2024 Everyday Teaching Awardees

The Center for Teaching and Learning is committed to celebrating and highlighting great teaching at Boise State. No matter how small or large a teaching gesture, project, or effort may be, they all make an impact on our learning community. Every month, we are recognizing “Everyday Teaching” in our monthly newsletter. Join us in congratulating Nicole Molumby (Music, Flute), Marc Ruffinengo (Criminal Justice), and Emily Meredith (Biology) who have been nominated for their everyday teaching. Here’s some of what the nominators said about them:

    Emily Meredith “Emily is a very student-focused instructor. Over the last few years, she has redesigned her BIOL 191 course to incorporate group work and active learning to help students better understand the material. Also, she is dedicated to supporting students not just in her Biology courses but in all introductory Biology courses through her work in developing the Biology Learning Center.”

    Marc Ruffinengo “Marc’s classes are among the most popular with our Criminal Justice students, and he teaches across the curriculum (from 100 level classes to the Senior Seminar capstone). Additionally, when we needed someone to step into a new class or cover our Internship class, Marc stepped forward. He is a team player.”
