Lastly, we recognized the work and dedication of Professor Marilyn Lockhart as she leaves the Director position at the Center to transition to the Education Department. Marilyn’sMarilyn Lockhart receives a gift leadership, both as Center director and co-chair of the MSU’s Classroom Committee, advanced the design, use, and assessment of innovative teaching environments – including active learning classrooms, for which MSU received the 2014 Award for Innovation in Educational Technologies from the NorthWest Academic Computing Consortium. Last fall, she brought the Center’s effectiveness into the spotlight at MSU’s inaugural Faculty Symposium, and was recognized as one of the 125 Extraordinary Ordinary Women in the history of MSU. We are grateful for her vision, devotion, and many significant accomplishments.
