Hire Professor Alicia Liss For Full Time

Professor Liss is more than just an exceptional teacher. She understands that the student/teacher relationship in and out of the class room is essential for the "whole" student to not only be well educated but to learn the meaning of poverty (the subject she teaches) and what can be done to change it in our lives. She takes the "shame" out of poverty and demonstrates to her students that there is truly a way out of it. She takes the time, energy and personal steps in learning and understanding that each of her students are unique and valued; and that each student should have the knowledge and preparation for dealing with what society will throw at them as they graduate from college and step into the "real world." Do we want to lose such a person like Professor Liss, who sincerely cares about her students? Someone who takes the time out to listen to her students and is prepare to do whatever she can to assist and help them to move forward in their lives? I should say not. Let us band together and do everything we can to keep Professor Liss as a full time Professor at RVCC!
