Prestigious WKU Photojournalism professor wins award
“How [teaching] makes me feel is indifferent,” said photojournalism professor Tim Broekema. Broekema, who has been teaching full time at the university since 2000, was nominated and awarded the 2016 National Press Photographers Association’s, Robin F. Garland Educator Award. “If I’m positioning [my students] into a place that [they] can be doing what [they] want to be doing and getting paid for it, that’s my success. That makes me feel good, that [they] have success.” Alyssa Pointer/HERALD
