Five professors have been chosen as the first recipients of the newly established 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Distinguished Teaching Award.
Those selected are Charles Deutch, associate professor of biology; Christopher Kearney, associate professor of psychology; Warren McNab, professor of health education; Paulette Tandy, associate professor of accounting; and Richard Titus, professor of chemistry.
Each recipient will receive an unrestricted cash award of $5,000 and will be honored at both the Honors Convocation on April 18 and the Faculty Awards Reception on April 30.
The 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Distinguished Teaching Award was established by 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's president and provost to highlight the importance of teaching in the development of a premier urban institution. Funding for the award comes from the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Foundation.
"The professors who were chosen to receive the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Distinguished Teaching Award were selected for their distinguished teaching record at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and innovative teaching styles, supported by research, publications, and outstanding student evaluations," said special education professor Bill Wagonseller, who chaired the faculty committee that recommended the five recipients.
