In recognition of the long tradition of excellence in community college teaching and leadership, the League established the John & Suanne Roueche Excellence Awards in 2012. These awards are open to League Alliance member institutions to celebrate outstanding contributions and leadership by community college faculty and staff. Recipients are recognized in a series of activities and promotions, and honored at special events at the League’s Innovations conference each spring.
The awards were named for Dr. John E. and Dr. Suanne D. Roueche, leaders in the community college field and early proponents of the idea that teachers have major responsibility for how well students perform in the classroom.
“We are very proud of these individuals for their accomplishments in teaching and leadership, and are fortunate to have them as part of the PSC family,” said PSC President Dr. Terri Winfree. “Each is very deserving of this special recognition, and we thank the League for honoring them in this way.”
