Professor of the Year Honored

Professor of the Year Honored

Kudos keep coming for Dr. Greg Wahl, 2013 Maryland Professor of the Year. Montgomery County Council President Craig Rice issued a proclamation honoring Wahl’s teaching excellence during the council’s January session.

“I’m not really doing anything differently than my faculty colleagues,” said Wahl at the event. “All of the things you just heard [in the proclamation] are what they are doing every day at Montgomery College.”

Wahl came to MC in 2003 as director of the Writing, Reading, and Language Center at the Takoma Park/Silver Spring Campus; in 2007, he joined the English Department. Currently, he teaches composition and developmental writing; facilitates 10–20 sections of developmental writing courses per semester; and helps secure scholarships for MC students. He has been involved in numerous work groups, committees, and programs—all aimed at helping students.

The US Professors of the Year program, sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), salutes the most outstanding undergraduate instructors in the country. It is recognized as one of the most prestigious awards honoring professors.
