Faculty of the Year
The “Faculty of the Year” award is to acknowledge those professors who go beyond simply lecturing students; they bring learning alive. They are more than just professors; they are role models and mentors in and out of the classroom.
Each year the Student Senate selects nominated professors as “Faculty Members of the Year” for each of the four campuses.
2011-12 Faculty of the Year
- Shawna Martinez, Biology, Full time, Rocklin
- Rebecca Siemers, Math, Full time, NCC
- Kurt Heisinger, Accounting, Full time, Tahoe-Truckee
- Christian Jardine, History, Part time, Rocklin
- Wayne Hild, Mat, Part time, NCC
Outstanding Presence on Campus

To all professors, past, present, and future:
"You challenged us to reach heights we did not think possible, you pushed us when needed and taught us to believe in our dreams. Thank you for your time, energy and enthusiasm you made a huge impact on the students of Sierra College."
