2025 CWU Faculty Recognition Booklet

COLLEGE OF THE SCIENCES

PROMOTED TO SENIOR LECTURER

Todd Mildon — Department of Law and Justice PhD, Law, Cornell University

After decades away, I am grateful to be teaching back in my hometown of Ellensburg. Just weeks after I joined the Department of Law and Justice, doctors confirmed the first case of COVID-19 in Seattle. By the following quarter, everything changed. I will never forget the months of silence on campus. So, I am grateful also as I watch campus reawakening for students. I tell my students often that I have had dozens of jobs over the last 40+ years, and that the best—by far—is teaching and learning with them here at CWU. I thank them, and I thank you all, for the honor of being a teacher.
