A person sits at a podium, smiling, with "World Teachers' Day 2026" written on a banner. Below, text reads, "How do CLA instructors make a difference in the lives of their students?"

White text on a maroon background reads: "She taught me that good history is not about proving a point; it is about asking better questions." Below, it says: "— George Wellock, class of '26, about Professor Kathryn Reyerson (history)."

A quote on a maroon background reads: "I realized I wasn’t alone, that my opinions and views are valid, and that people could build meaningful conversations around something I said." — Gigi Lawrence, class of '26, about Senior Lecturer Gabrielle Ferrales (sociology).
