\"DSC_0647\"<\/a>Nash Community College Criminal Justice Lead Instructor, Carmi Guyette,\u00a0is the College’s\u00a02016 J. Edgar and Peggie T. Moore Excellence in Teaching Award recipient.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an honor to be nominated for the award and to be named along with other inspirational instructors. I never considered myself as being the best nor could I even come close to all those dedicated instructors who are employed here,\u201d Guyette said.<\/p>\n

The Excellence in Teaching Award nominees are chosen annually through a peer and student evaluation process from all full-time faculty members. There is a well-defined set of criteria developed to identify and reward quality teaching. The recipient is chosen by secret ballot by the full-time faculty and represents the best in community college instruction.\u00a0Guyette has been nominated for the award six times.\u00a0He will receive a cash award from Ed and Peggie Moore of Rocky Mount.<\/p>\n

Addressing the faculty, Guyette said, “As you all know, we are experts within our field of study. Utilizing our experiences allows us to instruct our students at a greater\u00a0depth of knowledge. Unfortunately, television programs, the media, and the movies sometimes portray the criminal justice profession as reckless, uncaring, and misguiding. I try to instill\u00a0the purpose, legal justification, techniques, and human aspect of policing into my students’\u00a0academic experience by incorporating a realistic approach addressing a variety of issues and concerns that occur in the workforce and are not necessarily covered in a textbook.”<\/p>\n

Guyette brings extensive field experience to the classroom having held positions including Nash County Sheriff\u2019s Office investigator, Coastal Plain Law Enforcement Training Center Basic Law Enforcement Training director, Rocky Mount Police Department officer, United Stated of America Department of Energy federal inspector and Hampden County Sheriff\u2019s Department staff sergeant.<\/p>\n

Guyette\u00a0earned an Associate in Science degree in\u00a0Law Enforcement at Holyoke Community College, a Bachelor of Science degree in Administration of Criminal Justice from Mountain State University and a Master of Criminal Justice Administration degree from\u00a0Mountain State University. He is certified as a Law Enforcement Officer, Basic Criminal Justice Instructor, and in\u00a0Specialized Law Enforcement Physical Fitness through North Carolina Criminal Justice Training and Standards.<\/p>\n

“It is community college instructors’ personal, professional, and genuine care for our students that make us stand out. With this in mind, I try to combine my career experiences, teaching styles, and what I learn from peers to form something that will help shape and mold our students\u2019 minds. My greatest pleasure is to watch students advance across that stage during commencement while remembering being a part of their lives and their educational progress,” he said.<\/p>\n
