Communication doctoral candidate Katherine Bunsold earned a teaching award from the College of LAS. Bunsold was among 16 professors, graduate students, lecturers, and advisors selected as recipients of the 2025 LAS teaching and advising rewards.

"We are honored and fortunate to have so many amazing teachers and advisors in the College of LAS,” said Venetria K. Patton, the Harry E. Preble Dean of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. “From long-time professors and advisors to teaching assistants new to their jobs, this year’s award recipients represent the best in instruction and helping students navigate college life.”

Bunsold has instructed several introductory communications courses and is known for her engaging lectures, especially in CMN 375: Popular Media. “Her positivity, eagerness, and depth of knowledge ignited a passion within the classroom, making attending lectures a truly enriching experience,” said an alum who graduated in 2024.

The awardees will be honored at a ceremony in April.
