Lone Star College-CyFair is where success begins for 24,000 students, both inside and outside the classroom, with the help of employees like this year’s outstanding recipients of the annual excellence awards recognizing exceptional service and support.

“It is our privilege to celebrate these award winners as they not only are excellent in their role, but go above and beyond to ensure their students and colleagues have the support, encouragement, and connections that improve their days,” said LSC-CyFair President Dr. Valerie Jones. “Their impact is felt by our campus community as they step up to lead and innovate, whether through mini-grants that celebrate our ESOL students, innovations in the classroom, stepping up to support peers as a faculty fellow, or joining the committees, work groups, or projects that impact change.”

LSC-CyFair’s Faculty Excellence Award winners are Cynthia Sledge, Dr. Brian Herrington, Buck Buchanan and Keith Altavilla, who teach Psychology, Music, Geography and History respectively. These recipients are dedicated to empowering students to learn through experience, discovery, discussion, expression and understanding academically, personally and professionally.

Winners of the Adjunct Faculty Excellence Award are Dr. Elena Mehl and Dr. Erik Hoyer, who teach biology, and Dr. Claire Phillips, who teaches EDUC 1300. These recipients are honored for meeting students where they are in their journey as well as enthusiastically sharing their real-world experience and knowledge as a foundation for success of LSC-CyFair students.

Recipients of the Staff Excellence Award are the Public Service, Health and Behavioral Science Division’s Devin Walton, Division Operations Manager and Sandra Crockett, Administrative Specialist; the Academic Success Center’s Michael Brukardt, Tutoring Center Coordinator for Math and Science, and Jessyca Aviles Lopez, part-time Language Lab Coordinator; and Becca Stephenson, Manager of Student Outreach and Recruitment.
