2010-2011 Teaching Awards Sponsored by the Office of the Provost

The 2010-2011 Outstanding Teacher Awards, Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Professor Awards, and the Board of Governors’ Awards, sponsored by the Office of the Provost, were announced during the luncheon of Teaching and Learning Symposium, in the Ballroom of the Talley Student Center. Family, friends, and colleagues gathered to see these teachers receive their certificates and congratulations from Provost Arden.

“In the midst of worries about budget reductions and economic upheaval, it is refreshing to be reminded that even in times of uncertainty, the real work of the University goes on, by the distinguished teachers we will recognize today and the hundreds of other faculty members who join them in the important work of teaching, scholarship and engagement.” – Warwick A. Arden
