This was the last week of classes! I can't believe that his first year of grad school is already over. Last week they had a mini awards ceremony for the physics department. And they gave Gaetan the Haym Kruglak Graduate Student Teaching Excellent Award. So what that means is that the department, and his students gave him the best evaluations out of ALL the grad students. :) I think that's a pretty big honor, seeing how this is his first year there! It's really nice that other people recognize his hard work and all of his talent. Not to mention that it is very obvious that he has a passion for teaching and helping students reach their potential. I've seen how he runs class. I've seen how he grades. I've seen how he holds his students to a higher standard... and because of it, they love him. It's amazing what a little hard work and holding kids accountable will do.
So here is to the best TA there ever was. We are so proud of you Papa and we are excited that we get to be along on this adventure with you. I started framing all the awards and letters of recognition that WMU has given him so far... I'm gonna need a lot more frames and wall space!
