Commencement is a time for celebration and recognition. This year, the College of Arts & Letters Undergraduate Studies Office asked our 2022 graduating seniors to share the names of those faculty and staff who have contributed positively to their undergraduate careers in the College. The Class of 2022 graduates responded by naming more than 100 College faculty and staff.
Some students responded with exuberant punctuation, such as a 2022 Film Studies graduate who wrote, “Rick Blackwood!!!” Some offered additional commentary, such as a Public and Professional Writing graduate who shared, “Casey Miles was an excellent advisor and professor. I absolutely loved talking with her.” A Women’s and Gender Studies graduate recognized Patrick Arnold as “…the most incredible person they have ever met.”
Thank you to the College of Arts & Letters faculty, staff, and everyone whose work, dedication, and care makes a difference in our Spartan lives. Below you will find the full list of College faculty and staff recognized for their significant contributions by our Class of 2022 graduates.
