In a candid interview, Professor True shared his sentiments about being named Calvin's MVP. "It made me feel warm and fuzzy," he admitted with a smile. "Calvin is a great student and I know he will do well, whether it's in the engineering field or on the baseball field."
Bickerstaff, an applied engineering major from Steubenville, Ohio, praised True's dedication to students. "Trent really cares about his students and does whatever he can to help them get the proper education. He always puts the students first and is very helpful," said Bickerstaff.
For Professor True, who is finishing his 9th year at Kent State, teaching is not merely a profession but a passion that has been nurtured since his formative years.
