Professors honored for teaching excellence

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will honor professors from the college’s 24 different programs June 9. Honorees will receive $500 and a plaque commemorating their achievement in this year’s ninth annual John Eliot Allen award ceremony.

The awards are based on student selection. Students from each department collaborated to decide which professors from four groups would receive the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences outstanding teaching awards.

Nine faculty members have previously won a teaching award, some more than once, despite the fact that there are three years of ineligibility between receiving awards. Two English department awards were presented, adding a 25th award to this year’s ceremony.
