UACCB Chancellor Brian Shonk announced the 2022 Outstanding Faculty, Staff and Adjunct Faculty at the college’s annual Academic Year End meeting on Thursday, May 5, 2022. 


“The strength of UACCB is the people who make up the staff and faculty of college.  We are an outstanding institution because of our outstanding people,” Shonk said. 


The 2022 Outstanding Faculty award was presented to Dr. Andrew Seely, science faculty and director of the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence. 


“Dr. Seely was selected as Outstanding Faculty for not only his great presence in the classroom, but also his leadership as director of the newly formed Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence.  Dr. Seely not only impacts his own students, but many students across campus.  He is always researching and testing better methods to aid student learning,” Shonk said.


The 2022 Outstanding Staff award was presented to Heath Wooldridge, executive director of facilities and auxiliary services. 


“Mr. Wooldridge, a 20 plus year employee, was selected as Outstanding Staff for his relentless dedication to ensuring the campus is always presentable, maintenance is performed on schedule to keep maintenance costs reasonable, and he diligently responds to requests from administration, faculty, and staff to assist them promptly and satisfactorily,” Shonk said. 


The 2022 Outstanding Adjunct Faculty award was presented to Makayla Candler, math faculty. 


“Ms. Candler was selected as Outstanding Adjunct Faculty for her dedication to students, among other traits.
