Pool & Spa Marketing columnist, Connie Sue Centrella, has once again been honoured for her work with Keiser University.

Connie Sue Centrella, pool and spa industry veteran and regular contributor to Pool & Spa Marketing magazine, has received the Evelyn C. Keiser Teaching Excellence Award, marking the fourth consecutive year she has won the honour.

The award, handed out by Keisier University, was given in recognition of Centrella's work as director of the university's eCampus Aquatic Engineering Degree Program, a two-year online program the school has offered for six years. The award acknowledges full-time faculty based on several criteria, including total average student attendance, completion rates, evaluation scores, post test scores and overall effectiveness.

"Being recognized so many times for doing what I love, the passion that gets me up each day, is more than one can ask for," says Centrella, who herself earned her online masters of business administration (MBA) degree from Keiser. In addition to her duties at the school, Centrella also serves as Team Horner's director of education and writes ‘Online Education,' a column that appears in Pool & Spa Marketing.
