... Toni, as he prefers to be called, has distinguished himself with a large and outstanding teaching commitment in Hispanic Studies. He has gone above and beyond what is required of him to ensure success in academic student life, proven being an exceptionally reliable, resourceful and dedicated professor not only for Concordia graduate and undergraduate students but also for many former Concordia students in their pursuit of a PhD degree. The Hispanic Studies Graduate Students Association has always counted on him when an advisor is needed.
Professor Giménez Micó’s outstanding qualities make him a worthy and deserving person to receive this year´s Concordia Outstanding Contribution Award.
