CYPRESS, Calif., Feb. 27, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Trident University International (Trident) is proud to present Dr. Angela Willson with its Teaching Excellence Award for the Fall 2018 quarter. A total of 49 faculty members were nominated by students and Dr. Willson was selected as the winner by University leadership based on the strength of the positive feedback submitted.
Dr. Willson has instructed in Trident's College of Health and Human Services for over a decade. She has taught at all program levels and has been a member of numerous Ph.D. dissertation committees. Additionally, she has designed courses in health sciences and management.
"Dr. Willson consistently provided explicit instructions for assignments, however, on rare occasions when I needed clarification, her email response time was impressive, generally immediately or within a few hours," states Kathleen Rivers, Master of Science in Health Sciences graduate. "She was also positively involved in group discussions, regularly commenting on each student's post, as well as frequently providing insightful commentary. This not only helped me feel connected to my professor and class, it made me excited to check the discussion board on a regular basis."
With both practitioner and academic experience, Dr. Willson has 10 years of experience as a radiographer in both a community hospital and orthopedic office.
Previously, Dr. Willson served as Program Director/Instructor of Yuba College's Radiologic Technology Program.
