Gary Armour, Ph.D., adjunct instructor of microbiology, received the Outstanding Adjunct Instructor Award during recent Professional Development Day activities held at the college.

The LLCC Outstanding Adjunct Instructor Award recognizes exceptional classroom teaching, expertise in his/her field, and commitment to innovative teaching, assessment and student learning.

Armour, who also serves as the college’s laboratory safety coordinator, has taught at LLCC for nearly 20 years both on the Springfield campus and at all LLCC Outreach Centers. This semester, he is teaching at LLCC in Springfield and Taylorville.

Bill Bade, dean of math and sciences, says Armour “frequently goes out of his way to assist and support his teaching colleagues. He is a very popular instructor and is student centered, often making decisions based on what he feels will be in their best interest. He has consistently received stellar classroom and student evaluations.”

Congratulations!
