Students' minds are being influenced by their teachers at the Haralson campus in a great way.

Students at the Haralson campus were asked which teacher influenced them the most and why.

There was quite a few that said Dr. Nancy Applegate, associate professor of English, because of her teaching method.

Mack Rolling, a student in Applegate's English 0099, said, "The most influential teacher I think I've ever had is Dr. Applegate. It's just her personality and teaching methods that make me want to learn more."

Applegate is not the only teacher that has a great deal of influence on the minds of students. Dana Pergrem, instructor of communications, and Susan Claxton, coordinator of the human services program, influence the minds of Brook Fortner and another student who wished to remain unnamed.

"I think the professor that has influenced me the most would be Pergrem. She has taught me that difficult situations will arise and to just deal with each day one at a time," Fortner said.

The other student said, "I love Mrs. Claxton. The way she teaches is so brilliant. She breaks everything down so you can learn it better. I wish every teacher was like that."
