Each year, for the past two years, 91΄σΙρ honors sophomores have been asked, ?what professor at 91΄σΙρ best challenged you to go above and beyond your standard performance in learning??β€ This year the sophomores chose Dr. Mary Hearron.
Each year, for the past two years, immediate honors alumni have been asked, ?what professor at 91΄σΙρ best prepared you for the standards that you encountered at the university??β€ This year, Dr. Mary Hearron?s name came to the top of the list in this category as well!
Matthew Jordan, who won a Jack Kent Cooke Scholarship while at 91΄σΙρ as a Presidential Scholar, enabling him to have a free ride at Texas Tech, noted thatβ€ Dr. Hearron definitely went ?above and beyond? in instilling standards. ?The course she taught was one of the more difficult of the honors series. An A in Biology was most definitely earned. . . . Yet she always made time to assist her students. Dr. Hearron truly established herself as a challenging, but nurturing mentor for every honors student that proceeded through the program.?
Presidential Scholar, Tyler Reynolds, who made a formal presentation of the sophomores? choice to Dr. Hearron at the Honors annual Thank-You dinner in March, noted that his sophomore class presented special challenges to Dr. Hearron, but that she patiently worked with the class, and helped inspire a better work ethic in every student.
Dr. Hearron, in addition to administrative duties in recent years, and moving over to cover chemistry as well as biology courses, has been a member of an inner circle of faculty who have written seminal evaluations in various national competitions.β€ Her students in the last four years have won top national awards including the Jack Kent Cooke, Terry, Guistwhite, Coca-Cola (Phi Theta Kappa), and Hites Scholarships.
