Congratulations to these “Top 10” faculty members, demonstrating teaching excellence and a strong focus on faith and learning!
Each year, Concordia’s Office of Academics compiles results of faculty impact based upon student surveys conducted at the conclusion of each course. The recipients include full-time faculty and adjunct instructors who have demonstrated excellence in the classroom, as determined by student surveys completed in the 2023-24 academic year.
Awards are in two categories: “Teaching Excellence” and “Faith and Learning.”
