Engaging, passionate, amazing, genuine, truly outstanding – these are just a few of the adjectives used to describe faculty members receiving Teaching and Advising Awards at the 2023 Cornell Engineering Fall Faculty Reception hosted Sept. 12 in the Statler Ballroom.
The College Teaching Awards recognize outstanding instructors across many dimensions including lecturing; developing novel curriculum, implementing teaching innovations, or novel pedagogy; exceptional mentoring of students; enhancements of instructional laboratories; mentoring of other faculty, or other teaching related service.
“Awardees this year include junior and senior faculty, first time winners and those with multiple awards,” said Alan Zehnder, associate dean for undergraduate programs, who presented the awards. “It is inspiring to read the nominations, to learn about some of the really great work in teaching in the college and to see just how much care and effort our colleagues are putting into supporting our students.”
