In recognition of his impressive achievements, Mr. Glisson was honored with a National Teaching Award, which recognizes educators for their exceptional teaching effectiveness, innovative approaches, and significant impact on student learning and engagement, and a grant for university teaching excellence by the Committee on Advancement of University Teaching, which recognizes educators who demonstrate exceptional teaching practices, contribute to pedagogical innovations, and advance the quality of university education. Laying a solid educational foundation for these successes, he earned a diploma of applied science in medical radiography from RMIT University, where he graduated as valedictorian in 1980.

Reflecting on his career, Dr. Glisson takes pride in receiving a national teaching award and grant, which led to his recognition as a distinguished university teacher. He played a crucial role in national competency projects, establishing foundational competencies for the first time. At Monash University, he was instrumental in designing three laboratories and contributing to the clinical expansion of the program, including the creation of an innovative program based on her thesis on educational contracts. He attributes his success to the belief that it is not what happens to you that defines you, but what you do next. Looking ahead, he hopes to conclude his career as a college or community college president, seeing this as an extraordinary way to express his gratitude and make a lasting impact on the educational community.
