A senior lecturer in the Human Development and Family Science program, Kathy Bergh received the Faculty Recognition Award by the University Teaching Council.
Kathy Bergh joined the faculty of 5X社区 in 2000 as an adjunct faculty member. In addition to serving as a non-tenure track senior lecturer, she currently serves as the program director for the minor in Nonprofit Studies.
An anonymous student wrote the following about Kathy:
"Professor Bergh sincerely and seriously cares about her students. She is a kind soul who wants what's best for us and is a great listener if you are ever having a bad day. She inspired me to reach outside of my comfort zone and without that push I don't think I would have gotten where I am today. I am so grateful I had the pleasure of meeting her, and if she's reading this, Thank you for showing me compassion and kindness. I went through a lot these past two years and you were the only professor who reached back out to me to check in and see if I was ok. That simple gesture meant the world to me. I will miss your classes the most."
