5 honored with Distinguished Teaching awards
Three faculty members and two graduate students have been selected for the Distinguished Teaching Award, the campus’s highest honor for excellence in the classroom.
This year’s winners are Guy Blaylock, associate professor of Physics; Barry Braun, associate professor of Kinesiology; Dennis Goeckel, associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering; and teaching assistants Andrew Roberts of the English Department and Jennie D’Ambroise of Mathematics and Statistics.
The faculty winners will be recognized at the Celebration of Teaching dinner on April 18 and the graduate student recipients will honored at a luncheon hosted by the Graduate School dean in early May.
Established in 1962, the Distinguished Teaching Award is regarded as the campus’s most prestigious prize for classroom instruction. The honor includes a plaque and a monetary award of $3,000 for faculty members and $2,000 for teaching assistants. The names of winners are also inscribed on permanent displays in the Lincoln Campus Center and the recipients are recognized during Undergraduate Commencement.
Nominations for the award are made by current and former students to a committee of faculty, undergraduates and previous graduate student winners of the prize. The committee makes the award selections.
