The award is part of American Sentinel’s Recognition Program recognizing faculty, students, and staff that best embody the University’s mission and values in their everyday lives.

American Sentinel recognizes that faculty are vital to student success and have a central responsibility for helping the University achieve its mission. The Faculty of the Year Award is presented in recognition of the recipient’s teaching excellence as evidenced by meeting the University’s expectations and their ability to inspire students in the classroom.

“American Sentinel’s tradition of academic excellence has been grounded by our world-class faculty and focus on rigorous engagement with students in and outside the classroom,” says Mary Adams, President and Chief Academic Officer at American Sentinel University. “We are proud to honor Sarah Moore for her extraordinary work with students and her dedication to broadening their learning experience. Sarah’s ability to encourage free and open discussion and expression among her students and peers, while upholding the University’s principles of Scholarship, Leadership, Accountability and Citizenship, are just some of the reasons her students and colleagues nominated her for the award. We are honored to acknowledge her contributions with the 2016 Faculty of the Year Award.”

The American Sentinel Faculty Award Committee evaluates each quarter’s American Sentinel Faculty of the Year Award winner and then names one American Sentinel Faculty of the Year Winner.

This year’s winner, Sarah Moore, will be recognized at the University commencement ceremonies in June.
