Congratulations to Dr. Carl Knight (Science & P.E.)!

It gives me great pleasure to announce your selection as Eastfield's Employee of the Quarter.  Your receiving this award means you are a model of Eastfield's high standards and student-centered values.  

Here are some of the comments made about you:

            The Principal Investigator (PI) for the National Science Foundation STEP grant; has over thirty years experience in overseeing undergraduate research experience programs at the community college level.

            In addition to building relationships with high schools, universities, industry, and nonprofits, Dr. Knight has also coached new faculty in learning how to incorporate more discovery based learning into the sciences. He directs the Big Thicket Summer Research Institute which has changed the lives of a talented and diverse pool of students.

 A lover of nature, who has not only introduced students to the wonders of environmental field study, he is active in conservation efforts in Texas and a national level.

His former students include many doctors, nurses and other extraordinary professionals.

          He is often found on the weekend composing recommendation letters for star students seeking admission to medical or pharmacy school. His co-workers wonder how he does it all...works long hours, serves on multiple boards, directs a nationally recognized grant, makes numerous weekend field trips and still manages to show all students he genuinely cares.

A loyal, dedicated professional, he represents a stellar role model for students and staff alike.  I have never worked with anyone more dedicated to student success.  Student oriented.  Passionate.  Dedicated.  Concerned about student success.  Never says anything bad about anyone.  More patience than anyone I know. Very student oriented.  I have seen him in the cafeteria with a table full of students.  He always has time for students.

Dr. Knight goes beyond just teaching.  He guides students.  He challenges us to be great.  He truly is one of the best.

Dr. Knight has been an incredible inspiration to me and my education in science in the short time I have known him, and I could never thank him enough for all of the motivation and encouragement he continues to give.

Carl, you embody the Eastfield spirit of dedication, innovation, and collaboration.  As this quarter's awardee, please accept these small tokens of our appreciation:  a balloon bouquet, a $100 gift card, a personal parking permit for the quarter, and your name will be placed on the wall on the Employee of the Quarter plaque.   Again congratulations, Carl.

Sincerely,

Jean Conway, Ed.D.

Interim President
