2002 Teaching Excellence Award Winners Announced
By Robin Herron
Five faculty members were selected as the 2002 George Mason University Teaching Excellence Award recipients. They are Peter Denning, Computer Science; Kimberly Eby, New Century College; Michael Randy Gabel, New Century College and Mathematical Sciences; Marjorie Hall Haley, Center for Multilingual Education in the Graduate School of Education; and James Lepore, Dance.
Quality teaching is at the heart of every successful university. George Mason recognizes its outstanding educators every year with awards for teaching excellence for work in classroom instruction, curriculum development, thesis or research direction, mentoring, or advising. The awards are open to all full- or part-time George Mason faculty members.
Winners are selected through a competitive process in which candidates document their educational excellence through a teaching portfolio. A committee including former award winners, the director of the Center for Teaching Excellence, and an educator from outside George Mason make the selections. This year's award winners will receive $2,000 and travel support to present their work at a national or regional meeting.
The Teaching Excellence Award was initiated in 1996 to highlight the importance of teaching in George Mason's mission and to recognize those faculty members who are leaders within the educational community on campus and beyond. |
