Dr. Ross Haenfler (Sociology) Receives the 2009 Outstanding Liberal Arts Teacher of the Year

There is a pretty good grapevine at work on the UM campus.  If you ask around, you can find out which professors and which courses to take for the semester.  The strength of the grapevine is why Dr. Ross Haenfler’s sociology classes fill up fast.

“[Professor Haenfler] truly cares about his students and wants to engage them in the class,” one student stated. “I love going to class and I am disappointed when I have to miss, because I know that there will be a lot of interesting things discussed. He really brings enthusiasm and a wealth of knowledge to the department.”

“I had no idea my students had nominated me,” Haenfler said. “I’m truly honored by them. I’m very lucky to get to do what I do. I don’t think there’s another award I’d rather win.”
