July Faculty Award Given to Gabbard

Published: August 21, 2015

Marie Gabbard has been selected College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Faculty of Distinction for July. 

Gabbard has led the charge in redesigning the Anatomy and Physiology series to align with Vision and Change and GEM. She has also volunteered to lead the Ge-Ed subcommittee. She is on a national leadership team for the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS). She sits on the state SWOK committee. On top of all of this, she is extremely thoughtful and is always prepared to actively engage at the College. If all that wasn't enough, she is writing and designing a new GEM course (B105) while teaching the older style of the class this summer. It was launched early at the request of the Medical Assistant program and Gabbard never batted an eye. 

Please join in congratulating Marie. Thank you for your continued commitment to CWI and its students.
