2022 Faculty Excellence Award Winner: Dr. Kim Hofstra
It is our pleasure to announce Dr. Kim Hofstra as the Cornerstone University Undergraduate Faculty Excellence Award winner for 2022! This award is in recognition of her performance of faculty responsibilities at Cornerstone University and her demonstration of exemplary teaching, integration of faith and learning, impact on the lives of her students, and a lifestyle that models devotion to Christ and the Church.
As the Early Childhood coordinator, Kim has strengthened the program through her strong teaching and intentional efforts to recruitment and support of Early Childhood teacher candidates. As a colleague, Kim goes above and beyond to serve others and grow the Teacher Education program. She stepped in as the Interim Division Chair to help lead the division when the Division Chair was on sabbatical. In the last year, she took the lead role in designing the new Early Childhood program. Kim also serves outside of Cornerstone as a GEMS Girl’s Club Coordinator at her church; she was recently elected to be on the GEMS Girls’ Club’s Executive Board.
This partnership with Cornerstone University is so important. It is about preparing that God-given potential for action — equipping students not only for careers, but for their calling. We are investing in leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers who will take what God has placed in them and use it to rebuild our neighborhoods and transform our city for generations to come.
— Rev. Corey Brooks, CEO of Project H.O.O.D. Communities Development Corporation
