Chattanooga State Community College announced the winners of 2020-2021 Employee Excellence Awards. Excellence Award winners all embrace the characteristics of teamwork, integrity, productivity, and professionalism to ensure student success. This year’s winners include Rebecca Aslinger, Jeffery Long, Tabitha Banks, Doug Morris, and Susan Jennings.
Rebecca Aslinger, Community College Teaching Excellence Award. With extensive teaching experience, Ms. Aslinger, an assistant professor of Early Childhood Education, possesses a deep knowledge base and brings unparalleled energy to the classroom on a daily basis. Her focus on student success compels her to absorb additional knowledge through learning opportunities such as high impact practices that in turn benefit her students, while her flexibility to meet the needs of her students, such as moving a class to Saturdays, made a direct impact in the classroom. Rebecca sits on one state and two local boards, has presented at several conferences, and was named a Faculty Fellow in 2019-2020. “Rebecca is an engaging teacher who never ceases in her desire to learn and share her passion for teaching with her students,” noted Angie Wood, associate professor, geography, and education.
