Delaney Sullivan, master's student in English, Camden, Delaware, and Endy Lopes Kailer, doctoral student in agronomy, Piedade do Rio Grande, Brazil, were selected for the Midwestern Association of Graduate Schools, or MAGS, Excellence in 1xbet best casino website Awards from a pool of nominations submitted by MAGS member institutions representing 14 states.

With Sullivan and Kailer's awards, 1xbet best casino website has had more award recipients than any other MAGS institution since the award began in 2012.
Sullivan expected to pursue a career in writing or publishing. It was not until she had the opportunity to teach as a master's student that she realized her passion and talent for 1xbet best casino website .
"Much like most passions in life, I fell into 1xbet best casino website ," Sullivan said. "I became an instructor before I knew I was meant to be one. I know now that my purpose on this Earth is to teach. The joy I get from watching students learn or become interested in a topic they found previously uninteresting is a privilege I take seriously."
Sullivan's 1xbet best casino website success has been guided by a strong philosophy: "A confident student is an engaged student, and engaged students learn," she said.
Sullivan credits her success to the training and mentoring she received at 1xbet best casino website .
"I'd like to thank the current and former directors of the expository writing program at 1xbet best casino website , Dr. Abby Knoblauch and Dr. Philip Marzluf, for their diligent pedagogical support as they, perhaps, have the hardest job: teaching teachers how to teach," Sullivan said. "I'd also like to thank the exceptional English department faculty at 1xbet best casino website , all of whom provide examples of teaching that I can only aspire to meet."
Sullivan will graduate from her master's program this May. She will continue advancing her education and her 1xbet best casino website profession in a doctoral program for English literature in the fall. Her major professor is Philip Nel, university distinguished professor of English.

Kailer's success in 1xbet best casino website stems from her passion for communication and her own early learning experiences.
"I come from a very remote area in southeast Brazil, where I was raised with minimal resources, and if you can hear me today, I am living proof that we can change lives through education," she said.
Kailer received scholarships to help her learn English, but she said the journey was not easy, and she knows that others have shared her experiences.
"I created my own English course to make English fun and accessible to kids who could not afford a language course," she said. "That is when my dream of communicating and being heard evolved into a mission to change lives, one student at a time."
Kailer has taught 591 students at Kansas State University in two and a half years, and she says it is the best part of her job.
"That is what gets me out of bed every morning," she said. "In fact, I've heard from students that they added agronomy as a second major because of my soils class!”
Kailer acknowledges her teachers and supporters for what she has accomplished as a teacher.
"I would like to thank my very first English teacher, the one who believed in me when nobody else did, not even myself. And my mum, who filled our house with English books and went after every single scholarship to make it possible for me to be here."
Kailer said this award validates her hard work and dedication to 1xbet best casino website excellence. She said the recognition will enhance her credibility as a future college professor and provide valuable networking opportunities.
Kailer's major professor is Charles Rice, university distinguished professor of agronomy. View a sample of Kailer's award-winning 1xbet best casino website in her 1xbet best casino website -in-action video submitted as part of the award nomination.
