Forty-four Notre Dame Graduate Student Teaching Assistants (TAs) have been named as the recipients of the 2014 Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Award.
Created to recognize graduate student instructors and TAs who demonstrate commitment to exceptional teaching in lectures, seminars, labs, and across the academic profession, the Graduate School and the Kaneb Center for Teaching and Learning present the award annually to TAs that are nominated by their departments. Departments may only nominate up to 5% of their TAs for the honor.
An awards dinner honoring the recipients took place Wednesday, April 16, in the McKenna Hall Conference Center. Laura Carlson, dean of the Graduate School, and Kevin Barry, director of the Kaneb Center, presented recipients with their awards following a keynote address by Philippe Collon, associate professor of physics.
