Lisa Browne graduated from Arcadia in 2020 with a Master’s Degree and has been teaching in the School of Education since 2023. In addition to teaching, Lisa runs Colorful Stories, an organization she founded that uses children’s books to provide families and educators with the tools to have conversations about social justice. One of the student nominees said that Professor Browne is “one of the most supportive and ‘real’ professors I’ve ever experienced…she provides space for us to share how we are feeling…Lisa Browne makes you feel like you can accomplish ANYTHING in life.” Another noted “She has taught me important life skills over the last semester and a half like being your own advocate, working smarter not harder, and how to navigate professional conflicts. Every week when I show up to her class I know I will be leaving feeling better and smarter than I did when I arrived. Herwork in anti bias education is very admirable and she is very busy outside of being a professor, but she would never let that affect her performance.” A third simply stated, “Sheknows how to connect with her students so everyone learns.” The Faculty Awards Committee wholeheartedly agrees.
