AWARDS AND HONORS

Students honor faculty and graduate students for excellence in teaching
Posted December 17, 2007

The undergraduate and graduate engineering councils awarded their Excellence in Teaching Awards to four faculty members and four graduate student teaching assistants at a ceremony Dec. 13.

The Excellence in Teaching Awards, which are given each semester based entirely on nominations and letters of support from students, are among the most appreciated honors received by Princeton teachers. Potential recipients include nonengineering faculty members who teach courses taken by many engineers, such as math and physics.
