Tono Ramirez Faculty, Philosophy De Anza College
Statement:	(If at all possible, I'd appreciate it if my name could be listed as Toño Ramirez. Thank you!) I’m honored to be recognized for my work at De Anza, and to have the opportunity to work within a truly vibrant learning environment. My involvement with the learning outcomes process has helped me to see some of the harder truths in the old saw that “effective teaching involves hard work”. In particular, it depends entirely upon our willingness to identify, discuss and work to resolve challenges confronting our campus community. I often find myself challenged—in the best of ways—by my students and colleagues, and hope that I am able to reciprocate in my work at the college.
