Gregory Martin Named UNM 2008 Outstanding Teacher of the Year
“Most students of creative writing are too good at being students. They are cautious and risk averse. They have not learned to welcome failure and despair. I want them to stop thinking of themselves as students – with assignments and deadlines imposed by some professor or program – and begin to see themselves as artists, as writers,” says Associate Professor of English Gregory Martin.

Catherine "Kate" Krause is UNM Outstanding Teacher for 2008
“When I first began teaching, I worried about myself. Had I prepared enough material? Was I smart enough? Was my slip showing?” says Catherine "Kate" Krause. But she adds that over the years she realized that it wasn’t about her. It was about her students, and slowly she began teaching in a fundamentally different way.
