"I am both humbled and proud that the faculty and graduate teaching assistants of the College of Arts and Sciences swept the outstanding teaching awards at UNM this year. But, I am not surprised--we take seriously our responsibility not only to our majors, but to the university as a whole, to create an environment that inspires student success."
