Canedo, Shi Nominated for 2025 Turner College Teaching Award

The first of two nominees for the 2025 Turner College Teaching Award is TSYS School computer scientist Janice Canedo. Canedo has worked with CPSC 2108 - Data Structures to modify the methods used to deliver the material to help increase student engagement and success in the course. This involved having the students use GitHub, a popular version control software, that allows the students to build a portfolio of code throughout the course and teaches them how to use version control software needed when they get into industry. For CYBR 4416 - Cybersecurity Practicum, Canedo brought large, real-world projects to the students that allowed them to concentrate on the area in cybersecurity related to the field they wanted to enter when they graduate. These projects fostered creativity and learning and are able to be used in a portfolio after graduation. For CYBR 3106 - Cybersecurity Risk Management, Canedo's students worked in groups throughout the semester to create a risk assessment and guidelines for a fictional company. Students learned to better collaborate and worked as a team completing their projects. 
The second nominee for the 2025 Turner College Teaching Award is Turner College economist Wen Shi. In recent years, Shi has actively participated in the Gateways to Completion (G2C) program, the Quality Enhancement Plan, Faculty Writing Fellowship, and Quality Matters design for online courses. She also joined the pilot cohort of CSU's Core Course Design Institution in Fall 2024, attending all 8-week meetings and working productively with the other seven members of the cohort to complete tasks and activities during each session of the Institute. For post-institute implementation, she will work with facilitators, peer mentors, and the department chair to guide the sustained implementation of the ECON 2105 in-person course changes in Fall 2025. Shi has attended more than 60 professional development events in pedagogy, presented for CSU Marching Toward Equity webinar and is schedule to give a talk in the upcoming 2025 USG Teaching and Learning Conference. She was also nominated for the prestigious CSU Educator of the Year Award in 2020 and 2024. Lastly, since joining the Turner College faculty in August of 2016, Shi has taught a number of different courses, including ECON 2105 - Principles of Macroeconomics, ECON 3165 - Global Economics Issues, ECON/FINC 3136 - Money and Banking, and MBA 6145 - Managerial Economics.
