WKU recognizes ACUE Teaching Fellows
Thirty-two WKU faculty members were recognized for earning a nationally recognized teaching credential co-endorsed by the Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) and the American Council on Education (ACE) during a pinning ceremony on February 4.

Provost Cheryl Stevens congratulated the inaugural graduating cohort, which included 32 faculty members from five colleges, all faculty ranks, and over 20 departments.

Provost Stevens remarked that the cohort’s completion rate was an impressive 100 percent (while the national completion rate is 83 percent).

These 32 faculty demonstrated their commitment to student success by completing the “Effective Teaching Practices” course to equip them with the instructional skills shown to promote student motivation, learning and persistence.

Spotlight: Brooke Zarotny
WKU junior Brooke Zarotny of LaGrange first arrived on WKU’s campus during a field trip in 2016 and quite literally, never looked back. “I loved how quaint Bowling Green was and all the wonderful features it had to offer. I was so excited as to how WKU was large enough to always be exciting and offer new experiences while also providing a kind and loving community. In less than a day, I knew WKU was my dream school.”
