Faculty members come here with the primary goal to teach. Our nursing professors and instructors have extensive real world work experience which they share with students every day.
Nursing Professor MaryAnne Shannon receives 2007 Distinguished Teaching Award
 "A distinguished teacher is a member of the LSSU community who exemplifies the best of our faculty," said Bruce Harger Ph.D., (Retired) LSSU vice president for academic affairs and provost. "She is caring, compassionate and available to students, as well as being challenging, demanding and fair. A distinguished teacher is respected, cooperative, works well as a team member and contributes to the advancement of her program at the university."
Students who nominated Shannon described her as a mentor, a leader, an inspirational role model and friend.
"This teacher’s constant support, encouragement and acceptance have enabled us to push ourselves further than we ever thought we were capable," said one student. "Her calming words of 'I know you can do this. You know this material,' before an exam, or a reassuring email to her students on the darkest of days, when they feel they cannot complete what they have started, are reasons why we have inspiration to succeed and realize our potential."
Another of her students said, “Her passion to instill pride and excitement in what she teaches is contagious. We will forever carry into our careers the countless daily lessons, values and ethical principles that she models. We can only hope to be as capable of inspiring others as she has inspired us."
