In the Spring 2022 semester, senior secondary English education major Sophie Sveigel ’22 received the Dr. Marti MacCullough Education Award. The award, created many years ago by an anonymous donor, recognizes a School of Education student whose project or paper epitomizes exemplary biblical integration.
Sophie was nominated by Dr. Stacey Bose for her lesson plan on Lord of the Flies. As a result of having her students study the themes of good and evil, the consequences of hurtful actions, and greed for power as seen through the novel, Sophie’s project was honored for its ability to be used both in public and Christian school settings.
