Graduate students recognized for outstanding teaching
The awards have been given each year since 1988 by the Council on Teaching. The awardees are teaching assistants who taught for at least one semester during the spring, summer, or fall of 2000. Nominations for the awards are sought from students, faculty, colleagues, departmental officers, and deans.
Lola Lopes, associate provost for undergraduate education, said the awards honor the teaching assistants for their dedication to undergraduate teaching and for their outstanding service to the University.
"Teaching assistants are critical to our teaching mission," she said. "Their accessibility and enthusiasm make this large community seem smaller and invite our students to join in our academic community more fully."
The 2000-01 Outstanding Teaching Assistants are:
