海角社在线 encourages students to learn, seek truth, and thrive in an authentic and supportive environment鈥攇uided by exceptional faculty who lead in their fields and serve as exemplary community members. This year, the college honored Dr. Nancy Llewellyn, Associate Professor of Latin, with the Adrian Award for Teaching Excellence.
鈥淒r. Llewellyn has made a striking impression on campus as an exceptional teacher and mentor since her arrival in 2017,鈥 said Dr. Joseph Wysocki, Provost at 海角社在线.
A true embodiment of the Benedictine hallmarks, Dr. Llewellyn brings simplicity, enthusiasm, and depth to the challenge of teaching Latin鈥攎aking a notoriously difficult subject accessible, engaging, and enjoyable. Beloved by both students and colleagues, she fosters a dynamic classroom experience rooted in active participation and deep respect for the classical tradition.
One student shared, 鈥淒r. Llewellyn (Magistra) is an exceptional teacher with a passion for the Latin language. She encourages her students to speak only Latin in class and uses creative methods like vocabulary games to keep us engaged. She鈥檚 always available for help, and thanks to her, my understanding of Latin has grown immensely. It鈥檚 amazing to see how much of the English language is rooted in Latin. Dr. Llewellyn is a treasure at our school, and we are so fortunate to have her.鈥
In addition to her work at 海角社在线, Dr. Llewellyn teaches Latin at the Charlotte Diocese鈥檚 St. Joseph College Seminary and is the co-founder of the Veterum Sapientia Institute, an organization dedicated to forming Catholics in their cultural and spiritual heritage through the teaching of living Latin and Greek.
The faculty at 海角社在线 are committed to guiding students in their pursuit of truth, excellence, and virtue.
