As a colleague, she was always willing to assist and partner with me as I learned my way around a new program of instruction. We worked well together in team-teaching our shared students and she was continuously prepared to share her technical expertise. Throughout our years teaching together, Ingrid was foremost concerned about the total bell-being of our students. Her love of teaching was surpassed only by her compassion and care for the students and each individual’s need in the classroom. She has been a major influence in the education and training of hundreds of students over her years of teaching. Former students have often returned to our classroom to share experiences and success stories with us and current students. She freely shares her passion for learning with her students!" and "After being laid off after 25+ years at one company, I went back to school, taking the Web Design and Development course with Ingrid Smith at Bates Technical College. Ingrid made the transition from work to school easy with an engaging, interesting program. She covered all the important topics, mixing lectures with videos and online tutorials that we would do together as a class. I thoroughly enjoyed her courses, learning so much that I have been able to use in real world situations. I couldn't recommend her more highly."
