The Distinguished Adjunct Faculty Award was developed on the premise that faculty members who have performed in an exemplary manner should be publicly recognized and rewarded. The criteria areas for the award are teaching effectiveness, college service, involvement with students, professional development, and community service. All adjunct faculty who have completed at least four years of full-time teaching service to LCC are eligible for the award.  Students and full-time employees nominate the faculty to be considered for such an honor. 

Students that nominated Walker had kind words to say about her. One student said, “She is such an accommodating instructor. Whenever I have emailed her or needed to get in touch with her, she is always quick to respond.” Another student said, “She makes sure students turn in assignments on time and is a very nice person do their work on time and helps them every chance she gets. She is very understandable and is a very nice person.” 

Walker has taught Music, Recording Arts, Theater, and online teaching courses during her nine years at LCC. She is also the Director of Outreach at LCC.
