Gary Mayhood Receives Teaching Award
New Mexico State University faculty member Gary Mayhood received the Outstanding Part-Time Instructor Award at the recent Stars of Excellence awards ceremony at Doņa Ana Branch Community College.
Mayhood, a cataloger and Associate Professor at the NMSU Library, teaches part-time in DABCC's online library science program.
Program director Susan Pinkerton said, "Beyond normal teaching, Gary has been a tremendous help behind the scenes. He deserves recognition for his help with recruitment, co-op placement, course development, and his overall enthusiasm, far beyond part-time instructor responsibilities."
Mayhood developed and taught advanced cataloging and two special topics courses. He has also taught introductory library science, introductory technical services, and a capstone course. This fall he will be developing a course on library privacy and confidentiality.
