Congratulations to nursing instructor Katharine Hamilton for being selected as the 2023 Teacher of the Year at Western Oklahoma State College. Ms. Hamilton is the Freshman Nursing Coordinator and Instructor at the Lawton campus.
The entire student body was given the chance to nominate instructors for this award. Those nominations were then given to Student Senate, and a selection was made.
Here are a few of the comments about this year's Teacher of the Year:
"This instructor is the only instructor in my entire college career who has shown that she cares about me and the entire program. She goes the extra mile and then continues to keep going. She is reassuring, kind, firm, and completely thorough as an instructor. When I think about who I will owe my compassion and respect to as a future nurse, I will always remember her and who she is and what she has done to guide me through my toughest year of nursing school."
"This instructor has inspired me in so many ways. The way she loves her students and supports them is way beyond any instructor I've had before. You can tell she is our number one fan and that teaching is her passion. I think I can speak for my entire class when I say that we appreciate, respect, and love her so much. She has been such a blessing to have this year, and I know a lot of us wouldn't be here if it weren't for her going the extra mile to make sure we understand the material and know how to apply it. Nursing school is incredibly hard, and we are all so blessed to have such a caring instructor that truly wants us all to succeed. She will always hold a special place with all of us!"
