Outstanding Graduate Student TA Awards

The annual Outstanding Graduate Student Teaching Awards recognize graduate student instructors and TAs who demonstrate excellence in the classroom or teaching laboratory. Awards are granted based on departments nominating up to five percent of their graduate instructors or TAs in a given year.

Awards consist of a certificate from the Kaneb Center and Graduate School, a letter documenting the award for the graduate student’s file, a $100 honorarium, and an invitation to a celebratory dinner typically held in April.
