Edison State Faculty
Honored with Excellence in Teaching Awards
Edison State Community College faculty members Sandra Streitenberger
and Dustin Wenrich have been named recipients of the 2018 Faculty
Excellence in Teaching Award from the Southwestern Ohio Council for
High Education (SOCHE). The instructors were honored at the Faculty
Excellence Awards luncheon on Friday, November 2, 2018, at the Dayton
Art Institute.
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-three member institutions honored at the banquet including the
Air Force Institute of Technology, the University of Dayton, Wittenberg
University, and Wright State University.
“We are so proud that Professor Sandra Streitenberger and Professor
Dustin Wenrich have been recognized as Faculty Excellence Award winners
through the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education,” said
Edison State Provost Chris Spradlin.
“They are truly excellent in the classroom, and their dedication to
helping students succeed is second to none. Sandra and Dustin also put
in many extra hours serving the College by leading initiatives,
chairing committees, and attending events. We can’t thank them enough
for all that they do for their students and their colleagues at Edison
State.”
Sandra Streitenberger, Associate Professor of Accounting, was nominated
based on her outstanding professional, mentor, teacher and colleague,
but she should be viewed first as an outstanding educational
leader. Sandra has been among the most visible proponents of
Edison’s STEMM event for young women and has been out in front as a
champion and role model to emulate. She has served as an extraordinary
example to senior professionals, as well as an inspiration to
development staff at the beginning of their careers.
Dustin Wenrich, Professor of Communication and Humanities, was
nominated because he is held in great regard by students and fellow
faculty. He has served as Edison State Education Association President
for a number of years and advises Edison State’s Student Senate.
Furthermore, he contributes to a number of English Department
activities and is always willing to help when the occasion arises or
when fellow faculty members need advice. Dustin is truly an outstanding
member of the Edison State family.
Formed in 1967, SOCHE is a regional consortium of 23 colleges and
universities in southwest Ohio to promote educated, employed, and
engaged citizens. SOCHE is the trusted and recognized regional leader
for higher collaboration, working with college and universities to
transform their communities and economies through the education,
employment, and engagement of nearly 200,000 students in southwest
Ohio. For more information about SOCHE visit www.soche.org.
