Description

Gladys Gooch came to Lipscomb in 1950 as an instructor in Spanish. During her 45 years of service, “Señorita Gooch,” as a linguist and teacher, built a reputation that commanded the respect of colleagues nationwide. Although her focus was Spanish, she also taught French and often taught enormous overloads. With excellence as a hallmark, generations of students benefited from her patience and care. Her Christian example led many to explore additional language studies and careers in teaching. Twice selected by students as an Outstanding Teacher, she was also among the first to be chosen for the John William Baker Summer Fellowship, which recognizes excellence in the classroom.
