The award is reserved for faculty members who excel in advising students. Nominees are evaluated on several criteria, including sensitivity to cultural, racial and ethnic diversity; displaying a caring attitude toward students; encouraging student growth; and developing and mentoring relationships.
"Working with doctoral students is extremely rewarding," Larson said. "Each graduate student is a unique individual, representing a different background, interests and experiences. They come to the College of Education with a dream of earning an advanced degree, and it is my privilege to support them throughout their journey."
Larson is a pillar in the reading specialist and Master of Arts in Teaching programs, where she teaches literacy-related courses and supports graduate students in their pursuit of becoming highly effective educators. She advises master's, Ph.D. and Ed.D students.
