The ‘Best of Campus’ winners were determined by a student vote. The winners do not reflect the opinion of the Emerald.
It’s no surprise that Deb Morrison, Chambers Distinguished Professor of Advertising at the University’s School of Journalism and Communication, won best professor. She is a pioneer in the field of teaching advertising and is a reliable, driven and caring professor.
As the professor who teaches the first course in the advertising series, Creative Strategy, Morrison has taught and mentored almost all advertising students. Morrison is the head of the advertising department and teaches Portfolio, Branding and Content, Writing Design Concepts, and Advertising Campaigns. @@don’t take the oxford comma out@@She also organizes and teaches the SOJC New York experience@@can only find this here: http://isupportuoregon.org/my_duckstory/blog/tori_m/the_new_york_experience@@ every year, which brings more than 50 students to New York City for a week-long series of advertising agency tours and hands-on learning.
Morrison is an intelligent guide and a passionate mentor, and she is consistently dedicated to her students. She’s known for being on-call at all hours of the night and will often respond to her student’s last-minute questions about assignments. Her teaching style encourages students to think for themselves and to not be afraid to make mistakes. One of Morrison’s main philosophies is that students should do what they love, no matter what that is.
University senior Ashley Peabody@@http://directory.uoregon.edu/telecom/directory.jsp?p=findpeople%2Ffind_results&m=student&d=person&b=name&s=Ashley+Peabody@@ has had Morrison as a professor over the past year, and she said there is no professor at University quite like her.
“If you mess up, she pushes you to go back and get it right, and when you come back with success, there’s no bigger cheerleader than Deb Morrison,” Peabody said. “She encourages students through their setbacks and triumphs.”
Best professor: Deb Morrison
