BLINN PROFESSOR RECOGNIZED FOR SUPERIOR INSTRUCTION

  

A Blinn College professor’s commitment to building relationships inside and outside the classroom has captured the attention of her peers at Texas State University.

Rhonda Reagan, a geography professor at the Blinn-Bryan Campus, was honored recently with the Mary Beth Booth Award for Outstanding Service by an Extramural Educator by Texas State University’s Department of Geography. The award honors faculty from outside institutions who exhibit outstanding service and scholarship of teaching and learning in the geography field.

Reagan is a veteran of 31 years in the classroom, and was nominated by Dr. Richard Earl, who is a professor in Texas State’s Department of Geography.

“Dr. Earl and I have maintained a working relationship for many years, and I am honored that he nominated me for this prestigious award,” Reagan said. “The Blinn Geography Department will continue to closely interact with Texas State so our students can enjoy the incredible research and curriculum opportunities Texas State offers.”

Reagan is also a co-advisor for the Blinn Geographic Society, an organization that allow students to supplement their coursework with additional hands-on experience, and assists students in preparing and presenting research posters at Texas State’s annual Geography Student Research Symposium.

“Rhonda is dedicated to ensuring her students’ success both inside and outside the classroom,” said Brandon Franke, Dean of the Division of Social Sciences. “Her work with the Blinn Geographic Society has made it a leading club on campus, and the contacts she has made through that process have raised the bar for our Geography Program to where universities actively seek our students. This is a well-deserved award.”
