Thomas W. Briggs Foundation Excellence in Teaching Award
Margaret A. 'Peggy' Quinn

Quinn teaches fashion merchandising and supervises the senior project class for Family and Consumer Science. “Under her leadership, the students have produced some amazing projects,” writes Dr. David Arant, dean of the University College, in his nomination. She coordinates off-campus teaching and learning sites, as well as industry field trips to supplement instruction. “She is a popular, thoughtful teacher who shoulders a heavy advising load for the unit, advising about 80 students,” Arant adds. Quinn also demonstrates leadership in the ACAD program, an introduction to the University for freshmen. She has an active scholarly agenda, with presentations at local, regional and national conferences.
