Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE)

Renee J. Guyer has been teaching biology at SCC since 2007 and was selected as our 2021 Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year. She is proud to hold an M.S. in Microbiology from Colorado State University and SCC is proud to have her here. As an instructor, she is always seeking new ways to improve her teaching and is passionate about building relationships with individual students and celebrating their learning and accomplishments with what is often difficult content. At the college, she contributes in multiple ways: holder of many positions over the years with Minnesota State College Faculty (MSCF), including serving currently as union president, serving as department chair, and participating on multiple committees, including chairing the steering committee for accreditation. She is a go-to resource for faculty and staff across the college, known for her kindness, commitment, and honesty.

Personally, Renee is mom to an energetic youngster and a proud member of the anti-racism team at her local church, committed to doing her part to make the world a more open and loving place. When asked about her work at SCC, she said this: “The absolute best thing we have at SCC is our people… Each person wants the best for our students and strives to do what they can to ensure our students receive what they need.”

Thank you, Renee, for your care and dedication to SCC.  Congratulations again to Renee Guyer, 2021 Outstanding Faculty Member of the Year!  #SCCproud
