Edison State Community College faculty members Herbert Head and Rick
Roberts are recipients of the 2016 Faculty Excellence in Teaching Award
from the Southwestern Ohio Council for High Education (SOCHE). The
instructors were honored at Faculty Excellence Awards luncheon on

“There is no doubt to the amount of effort and expertise that these two
faculty members contribute to the success of students and this is just
one indication of that work,” said Dr. Paul Heintz, Jr., Interim Vice
President of Academic Affairs at Edison State. “I thank these gentlemen
for everything they do to make Edison State a better place to learn and
to work.”
Each year SOCHE hosts a faculty awards banquet honoring excellence in
teaching at member institutions. Edison State nominated award winners
based on the institution’s criteria, with special consideration of
demonstrated excellence and awards received throughout the past
academic year.
Edison State faculty members joined colleagues from SOCHE’s twenty-two
member institutions honored at the banquet including the Air Force
Institute of Technology, the University of Dayton, Wittenberg
University, and Wright State University.
