College Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching
Jasna D. Jovanovic

     

It is no surprise that Jasna D. Jovanovic has been named to the "Incomplete List of Teachers Ranked as Excellent" every semester since her arrival to the college in 1993. Her mastery of the subject of human development and family sciences (HDFS), her knowledge of how to teach, and that extra, vital ingredient of genuine caring have made her an extraordinary teacher, mentor, and adviser.

Jovanovic’s finest quality may be her ability to help students realize their goals. For some, merely committing to a goal is a new experience; for others, the self-confidence to reach for a goal needs bolstering; and, for others, a role model who believes in them can make all the difference.

Jovanovic’s contributions to the HDFS program have been many. She has transformed the undergraduate program, especially with the redesign of HDFS 105, "Introduction to Human Development." Under her leadership, the HDFS student club went from near dissolution to winning the ACES Club of the Year Award. She has also played a key role in the recent redesign of the HDFS undergraduate curriculum.
