What should I write?
- Did/do they inspire you to consider a certain career path, graduate school, community activity?
- Do students talk about how good they are outside of class, and what do they say? Do they seem particularly committed to student success, and how do they do that?
- Do they teach you in ways that make it exciting for you to come to class and easier for you to learn and understand the course material?
- What do they do that supports students and their learning above and beyond their work in the classroom? (e.g., engaging with AHSUM or department/faculty/university student associations; offering meaningful, innovative, and engaging events/experiences for their students; providing mentorship)
- Have they transformed the way you think, learn, read, act, or live your life?
