Student Sends Suport
I got a wonderful email from a former student today! She was a terrific digital illustrator and pre-press wizard. I asked if it would be okay to post her letter. She said she was shocked and that I could definitely post her note. The greatest compliment of all? She asked that I tell her where I end up teaching (if Mesa didn't retain me) so she would know where she could go to keep learning.
Hi Cyndi, I was going to sign up for another class and looked to see what you were teaching. When I did not find anything, I asked my friend Ron (he works in receiving at the school) what was up as I had understood that you were on sabbatical and would be back this fall. He told me that something was up, as your stuff was all moved out of the office and he did not think you were coming back.So, I went to your blog to see if I could find out what was going on. I am very disappointed to hear you are having legal problems and are not coming back to the school. You are the best instructor I have had for the digital art computer programs and am disappointed that I may have to take classes
from someone else in the future.I hope you win the Woman of the Year Award as I think you deserve it! I hope everything works out in your favor as you are one of the best and most dedicated teachers I have ever had. Once all of this is over, if you start teaching again in the East Valley, please let me know where. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Take Care,
Sue Kopca
I have been exceedingly blessed in this lifetime. I have been teaching media arts classes since the summer of 1989 at Gateway Community College. In 1998, I made the transition to Mesa Community College and had the incredible joy of teaching thousands of dedicated, inspiring, creative students in filmmaking, design, illustration, animation, web design and digital arts. They're wonderful about keeping in touch and letting me know how they're doing. I love hearing from them and it's fun to share their successes!
