Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the recipients of this year’s awards for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching. Normally we honor these individuals at the Annual Celebration of Teaching, but we have to postpone the event until campus is open and operating normally. So please join me in congratulating them virtually!
There are two categories of awards presented, the first of which is the Campus Wide Awards. Recipients are selected by members of the Academic Senate Council on Teaching, Learning, and Student Experience and members of the groups providing the monetary awards. Selections are based on campus wide nominations from peers, colleagues, and students. The recipients of these awards are listed below.
