Clark’s Gail Liberman earns
statewide teaching award

Gail Liberman, director of Clark College’s Teaching and Learning Center, has been named a recipient of the 2008 Anna Sue McNeill Teaching, Learning and Assessment Award. The award recognizes contributions to teaching, student learning and assessment in a public two- or four-year college in Washington State. The award will be presented to her today in Spokane.

Liberman has been coordinator of Clark College’s Teaching & Learning Center since 2006, after serving for nearly 20 years as the college’s dental hygiene program director. In 2007, she received the Martha Fales award for outstanding service to the state of Washington and the dental hygiene profession from the Washington State Dental Hygiene Association (WSDHA).

Liberman is the second Clark College faculty member to receive the McNeill award. Biology professor Rebecca Martin is a past recipient. The award, which was established by SBCTC in 2007, honors Anna Sue McNeill, who served in higher education at the Washington State Board for Community & Technical Colleges for 30 years.
