A Georgia Southern University professor was selected for the 2017-2018 Governor’s Teaching Fellow Program.

Nandi Marshall, Ph.D., Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health assistant professor, says she’s honored to have been accepted into this program.

“I was and still am extremely honored to have been selected as a 2017-2018 Governor’s Teaching Fellow,” Marshall said. “Having the opportunity to learn innovative techniques for improved learned outcomes and student engagement in the classroom has been an awesome experience.”

According to a GS press release, the Governor’s Teaching Fellow Program is an outreach program for upgrading the value of instruction at Georgia’s universities and colleges.

The program was made official by former Georgia governor Zell Miller in 1995, for the purpose of providing Georgia’s higher education faculty with expanded opportunities for developing important teaching skills.
