Associate Professor of Humanities Cynthia Rostankowski
Nominated by Christopher Queen, ’98 Humanities/Spanish
Professor Cynthia Rostankowski is my very inspirational person. Her lectures paint vivid verbal pictures of the subject matter she covers. Her assignments are challenging, yet to the point, capable of evaluating both a student’s broad and specific understanding of the subject. Professor Rostankowski’s passion for teaching humanities shines through and her continued selection for the SJSU Salzburg Program demonstrates her level of professionalism. She has had an immense impact on my life and I am grateful to have had her as professor.
