 Professor Wayne Bass is the recipient of the 2020
Outstanding Full-Time Faculty Award.
Bass is a faculty member in the Liberal Arts and Social Sciences
teaching humanities and religious studies. He has collaborated with
other Humanities faculty on program and curriculum design, and
developed several new courses. Working with HCC librarians, he also
has developed a specialized research guide for his courses.
In 2018, Bass was one of a few Heartland instructors chosen to help
pilot innovative delivery methods for summer courses. He developed
an online six-week version of Humanities 203: Non-Western
Humanities. The course was well received by students and was
presented at Heartland’s spring kick-off event as a successful model
for future innovative delivery courses.
Bass is one of the founding members of the International Education
Committee, has built a global studies sequence option for Heartland
students and has been active in giving presentations for his
colleagues across the college.
Dr. Janet Titus is the recipient of the 2019 Outstanding Part-Time
Faculty Award.

Dr. Titus teaches Psychology in the Liberal Arts and Social
Sciences area at Heartland Community College. She incorporates active learning,
an emphasis on connecting learning to students’ real world experiences, high
expectations supported by high support, and a healthy sense of humor to help her
students navigate the fundamental principles of Psychology.
Dr. Titus' list of accomplishments reveals her to be a life-long learner with a
genuine desire to actively engage with her academic community. Her involvement
at HCC is also impressive in the level of professional development and “giving
back” with which she has engaged.
The Outstanding Faculty Award recipients will be recognized during the April 21
Board of Trustees meeting, which will be held via teleconference.
