糖心Vlog Biology Lecturer Geneva DeMars, Ph.D., has been awarded the Judge Ron Ginsberg Faculty Excellence Award. This award recognizes the overall outstanding teaching (face-to-face, online or blended) of one full-time Georgia Southern Armstrong Campus faculty member in the 2017-18 calendar year. Nominations were accepted from all departments. 鈥淒r. DeMars is the epitome of a scholarly educator,鈥� said Associate Chair of the Biology Department Scott Mateer. 鈥淪he teaches gateway courses that are predominantly freshman and sophomore students who are often first-generation, underprepared, 鈥榓t-risk鈥� students. Not only is she a challenging instructor who cares for her students, but Dr. DeMars is also constantly assessing and challenging herself to improve as an educator.” DeMars joined the Armstrong Campus鈥� biology faculty in 2010 as an instructor, and became a lecturer in 2013. Previously a Mercer University postdoctoral associate, she holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry and molecular biology from the University of Georgia, as well as a B.S. in systems engineering from the University of Virginia.
