Outstanding!!
No one deserves it more! I Remember him helping Connor his freshman year! Always a caring, dedicated soul❤️Congrats Eric!!
Well-earned and well-deserved! So proud to work with Eric at Carroll College, a true inspiration!
Yes! Nice work.
Well deserved. An outstanding teacher indeed! I’ve been wearing my Sullivan Strong band every day since I received it in July of last year to remind myself to appreciate every day as well as what it means to be a good man, through Sullivan’s example. Unfortunately all of the text has worn off at this point but I think it takes on a new meaning. Certainly, what matters most about a person (and the band at this point) isn’t on the outside, but rather what care and passion they hold within them. Congratulations Dr. Sullivan!
Wow! Bryce, so very well said. Thank you for sharing!

We were there. Great presentation and award to you Eric. Congratulations. Thanks for all you do for math students and the CC math department. Sincerely, BnP
Well deserved honor, Eric!!!
Congratulations, Eric!!! What a nice and well deserved honor!
At every interaction with Eric I LEARNED something and he taught it to me gently and convincingly. Congratulations Eric!
We should say WWWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO as if it were a nice gift, only it really is simply somthing Eric earned everyday.
Well deserved and about time! Eric is one of the best teachers I know and also one of the best colleagues. I recall when Eric did a peer evaluation for me, he hung around for almost the entirety of my 3.5 hour lab and wrote one of the most useful peer evaluations I've gotten during my three cycles of evaluation at Carroll. Every conversation I've had with Eric about the classroom has tempted me to start taking notes from all the insight he was sharing. Eric pushes all of us to perform better as teachers and as scholars!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not surprised amazing person and an amazing teacher!
How exciting! Congratulations!!!
Eric, I'm SOOOO happy that you are receiving all of these well deserved accolades while you are educating tomorrow's future citizens! I'm hoping that it brings you so much comfort and joy having your impactful ways acknowledged while you are still in the classroom. Kudos!
A teacher who fosters a love for learning unlike anything I've seen before. When I tell people about Dr. Sullivan, I tell people "he's a professor who makes people love math." I feel so fortunate and blessed to have had the opportunity at Carroll to spend so many hours in Dr. Sullivan's office hours and classrooms. He never let a point of confusion live on if he could help it, even if it was only expressed by a slightly furrowed brow. We love you Dr. Sullivan, thank you for sharing your gift with so many of us students ❤️
