2024 Recipient:
Sam Boase-Miller, Music
Student nominators said of Boase-Miller, who began teaching in the music department in 2018: “He has provided such a positive outlook on education, which has enhanced my experience at NMC x10” and “He's always pushing us forward as artists and people, no matter the circumstance, because he genuinely believes in all of us, and has even stated he learns as much from us some times as we do from him.”
