Professor Joseph Wachowski has been selected as the 2026 Knights Choice Award Winner, an entirely student-run recognition honoring faculty who make a meaningful impact on the student experience. He is being recognized for his strong commitment to providing affordable, accessible course materials that help remove financial barriers and support student success.
Students consistently emphasize the difference his approach makes. One student shared, “All information was provided at no cost. I was able to focus on my studies and not stress over money.” Another noted that all resources were easy to access on both school desktops and personal laptops, adding that the affordability “lessened my financial stress and made it easier to enjoy the course content.”
By ensuring students have access to high-quality materials without added cost, Professor Wachowski helps create a learning environment where students can focus on mastering the content from the first day of class. Although he was unable to attend the recognition event, the university community celebrated his lasting contributions and the positive impact he continues to have on his students.
