Want to know what excellent teaching looks like? Look no further than Marsha D’Angelo.
An applied communications and public relations instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), D’Angelo was recently recognized with a Teaching Excellence Award for Western United States and Western Canada. She beat candidates from 12 U.S. states, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and all three Canadian territories.
D’Angelo was selected by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), which recognizes individuals each year who exemplify teaching excellence in the classroom.
“Marsha is a much in-demand and respected instructor,” said Wayne Tebb, KPU’s school of business dean. “In her time at KPU, she has demonstrated passionate dedication to her teaching.”
D’Angelo is working with her department to develop KPU’s first minor in professional communications, and was recently recognized by KPU’s Board of Governors with the 2017 Distinguished Teaching Award for her outstanding contributions to student learning.
“I’m honoured to be recognized for my teaching by ACBSP,” said D’Angelo. “I work hard to ensure my course content is current, relevant and engaging with plenty of opportunities for students to apply the communications and public relations skills most in demand by today’s employers.”
As a regional winner, D’Angelo is now in the running for the International Teaching Excellence Award, which will be announced in late June at the ACBSP Conference in California.
