The photo includes Mengying Jiang and the award she received: the Graduate Student Teacher of the Year Award, along with the award explanation: Mengying Jiang is the kind of TA every student hopes to have. She consistently goes above and beyond to support her students, fellow TAs, UTFs, and instructors with care and professionalism. Mengying is known for her thoughtful preparation, clear and detailed feedback, and genuine kindness in every interaction. She independently developed new instructional materials, created a system to check in weekly with students who might be falling behind, and made sure no one was overlooked. She also takes the time to mentor UTFs and actively looks for ways to improve the course as a whole. Mengying’s dedication, attentiveness, and warm presence make a real difference in students’ learning experiences and truly set her apart as an outstanding graduate teacher.

Congratulations, Mengying! You truly deserve it. Wishing you all the success and happiness ahead! #ITLS #InstructionalTechnology #LearningScience #STEMEducation #EdTech #ChooseITLS #FutureEducators #EdTechDegree

Jasmine is a senior in the HEDI program at Utah State University and a dedicated member of the Honors Program. As an online student, she initially joined Honors for its flexibility, but what she discovered went far beyond that. Honors challenged her to think deeper, ask better questions, and embrace growth through meaningful academic work. Jasmine learned that Honors isn’t meant to be easy, it’s meant to push you, and that challenge became one of the most rewarding parts of her experience. Through the program, she connected with inspiring mentors, advisors, and peers who encouraged her to pursue her goals and step confidently into new opportunities. Their support has been instrumental in her academic and personal growth, shaping her desire to pursue meaningful work in the future. Her advice to students considering Honors? You have nothing to lose. It’s not about being “smarter”, it’s about thinking differently, embracing challenges, and building connections that truly matter. We’re excited to see where Jasmine’s journey takes her next! 💫

Meet Jasmine Banman 🌟 Honors student, and lifelong learner. Honors pushed her to think deeper, grow through challenges, and connect with mentors and peers. Excited to see what’s next! 💫
