Each year, the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning & Online Education (CETLOE) accepts nominations of faculty and graduate students to receive Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Faculty Awards. The awards recognize instructors who have made exceptional contributions in teaching, professional development and mentorship across the university. Recipients are recognized at Georgia State’s annual Conference on Scholarly Teaching.
“These awards offer important, university-level recognition for work well done, something of particular importance to Graduate Students and Part-Time Instructors. They also provide recognition for all the hard work faculty across the university do to help their students prepare for the classroom,” said Jennifer Hall, associate director for Graduate Student Pedagogical Development at CETLOE.
This year’s awardees include:
