First, working with classes each semester and co-creating our learning experience together, I have learned a great deal from my students. They often model what tenacity looks like, especially in the context of a first year course. Also, drawing from the efforts I observe my students putting forward, I have found a greater courage to explore all that the college offers from the standpoint of a faculty member, working to integrate myself more into our college&#8217;s wide ranging oppportunities. Lastly, working at ACC has taught me humility, as I have come to regard imperfections in my teaching and even &#8220;mistakes&#8221; made as opportunities to learn from and keep it moving, modeling this tact for my students as well.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5218e283 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5218e283\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h4>\n<a href=\"mailto:andrew.costigan@austincc.edu\">andrew.costigan@austincc.edu<\/a>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor of General Studies, Student Development\u200b Andrew Costigan is a professor in the Student Development Department at Austin Community College (ACC), where he is in his sixth year teaching Learning Frameworks.
