Our Successes

Alissa White, Jeffrey Gardner, and Maria Rojas Caballero

Dr. Jeffrey Gardner was nominated by Maria Rojas-Caballero, Psychology, for the Keys of Excellence Award for the 2024 academic year.

"I nominated Dr. Gardner bc of his selflessness and his impact. I took him for a class my freshman year, and it absolutely changed my POV about college classes and influenced what I wanted to do career-wise. I was not able to continue to take his classes due to being in different fields, but I recommend him any chance I get. I also did end up picking up that sociology minor because of his course, and because of the impact and passion, he shows behind his research. He put so much care into his research, and you can see that by how he goes about sharing that information with his students. I really aim to do the same one day. Our Keys of Excellence award is meant to celebrate excellence at our university, and it was really rewarding to see him get recognized." - Maria Rojas-Caballero
