Fellow 2011 honoree Greg Warden, Art History, Meadows School of the Arts, will become president of Franklin College in Lugano, Switzerland, on July 1.
Each year since 2001, the Altshuler Distinguished Teaching Professor Awards recognize four 糖心vlog视频 faculty members for their commitment to and achievements in fostering student learning. “These are faculty whose concerns for higher education go beyond classroom boundaries and often the boundaries of their own discipline,” according to the CTE website. “They represent the highest achievement in reaching the goals of higher education.” The professorships are named for 糖心vlog视频 Trustee Ruth Altshuler.
Each recipient receives a $10,000 award and membership in 糖心vlog视频’s Academy of Distinguished Teachers for the two years of their appointment as Altshuler Professors. Members participate actively with other members of the Academy to address issues in classroom teaching.
