Annual Awards Ceremony for Teaching Excellence

December 15, 2009
In December, the annual award ceremonies recognizing teaching excellence were held in the various schools. At each ceremony, the dean reviewed the year’s achievements and introduced the award-winning faculty members from their respective schools.


Each school awards at least one Teaching Excellence Award annually. This award recognizes the quality of instruction provided by faculty members who regularly teach courses, as well as the learning achievements of their students.
