Teachers create the society of the future through their relationship with their students and the methods they implement to educate them. For that reason, it is important that teachers positively engage their students as it has a life long implication on their social as well as academic development. Apart from having an engaging relationship, teachers also need to provide high quality instructions that will help students be more participative in classroom activities as well as learn constructively & productively. With all of this in mind, teachers also have a social life outside of the institution, a family to care for and personal goals to achieve.
Universities, schools and other academic institutions understand how tough the profession of teaching can be as teachers have to juggle all these aspects and throw on a brave face everyday since the role carries tremendous pressure and responsibility. Therefore, the least that these institutions can do is to honor and appreciate the copious amounts of effort and often overlooked dedication that their teachers put into their work. What better way to show your appreciation than to provide them with a gift! Not just any gift, but a gift that encompasses the appreciation for their valuable effort, the respect for their laborious dedication and the positive relationship shared between the institution and them. A gift that they can cherish forever.
This is what Harvard University thought would be the best gift that could be given to one of their dearest professors who was retiring after a wonderful stint at the institution.
Harvard University is the oldest university in the United States and is one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world. It consistently ranks among the top 3 universities in the world and boasts an alumni and faculty network of several nobel laureates, presidents, billionaires and olympic gold medalists.
The institution firmly believes in honoring their teachers as well as their students for their prominent achievements, remarkable performances and years of service milestones.
In January of 2018, Dr. Pierre Belanger, Associate professor of Urbanism, Landscape and Ecology, found our premium custom statues to be the perfect solution while he was contemplating on gift ideas for a retiring professor from the same faculty.
As a token of respect, Dr. Pierre contacted us and ordered a fully customized, 2.5” fantasy figurine that was resin printed and single coloured. It was a replica of the retiring professor and was customized to represent the attire that the professor wore during his retirement ceremony.
