Department of Social and Public Health
Jennnine Mick

Nominated by: Madison Klink

Nomination excerpt: "More importantly, she told me that she saw something in me and that she believed I could succeed in this field. That moment has stayed with me ever since. Her belief in my abilities helped motivate me to keep going, not only in my major but also in my long term academic and professional goals."

Nominated by: Emma Cox

Nomination excerpt: "Her classes are never boring, and I always leave having learned something new. My experience at OU and as a part of the HDFS program truly would not be the same without having the opportunity to learn from her. She is one of, if not, the best instructor I have had. She someone I look up to and admire. She sets an amazing example of what a human service provider should be, and I hope to one day come close to her level."

Nominated by: Hannah Baker

Nomination excerpt: "Coming into her class twice a week, being asked how things are going and feeling comfortable enough to tell the truth. Jennine is so honest and helpful; she always reminds you of your strengths and has no problem giving you the credit and feedback you deserve."
