  Amber Nolton, Richard Marco Taylor, my Heires, Jared Olison, Timberly Radicall,
• 0:50
  and Shannon Slat were recognized at the college's annual employee
• 0:54
  recognition event Thursday, April sixteenth. Hubbell had four nominations come
• 0:59
  from students. That part means the most to me. It
• 1:03
  tells me the connection we built in the classroom mattered.
• 1:05
  I am truly grateful for this recognition and the opportunity
• 1:09
  to do this work, Hubble said in a news release.
• 1:12
  The student nominator said they appreciated Hubble's approachability unvarnished advice,
• 1:18
  real world experience that informs the scenarios he uses in
• 1:21
  the classroom and his efforts to introduce them to the
• 1:24
  criminal justice profession. He ensures each student feels important and
• 1:30
  confident in their career path. He is not afraid to
• 1:32
  go into detail about what it takes to be in
• 1:34
  this field. Illinois Valley Community College student Ashley Moore also
• 1:39
  said in the news release, he teaches us what to
• 1:42
  expect and how to handle that situation in a multitude
• 1:45
  of ways. He brings in ideas and people that relate
• 1:48
  to the profession. Illinois Valley Community College student Aiden McLaughlin
• 1:53
  said in the news release, J. C. Frederick appreciated that
• 1:57
  he never sugarcoats anything and is as honest and real
• 2:00
  as a teacher can get. He helps students look at
• 2:03
  the world around them and encourages them to see their
• 2:06
  role in it. Linda Wheeler noted Hubble's work with local
• 2:10
  law enforcement agencies laid the groundwork for internships and employment
• 2:14
  for several students. Hubble said he intends to connect concepts
• 2:18
  and practical experiences so students can understand what they are
• 2:23
  learning applies beyond the textbook. It makes the material more
• 2:27
  engaging and relevant and lets me prepare students to think
• 2:30
  more critically about the field and their future roles in it.
• 2:34
  He traces his teaching philosophy to his own mentors, particularly
• 2:38
  an Illinois State University professor who taught me that grace
• 2:42
  goes a long way in creating a positive connection with students.
• 2:46
  Hubble received a Higher Education doctorate from Illinois State University.
• 2:51
