Trachtenberg Teaching Prize
David Morris, Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences
2008 Oscar and Shoshana Trachtenberg
Teaching Award Recipient
Professor Morris was recognized at the annual Celebration of Teaching Excellence, held on Friday, April 11, 2008.
The award for outstanding undergraduate teaching was established in 1990 by President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg in memory of his parents. The Trachtenberg Prize for Teaching is presented annually to a tenured member of the faculty of CCAS, SBPM, SEAS, ESIA, or SPHHS who regularly teaches undergraduate students. The award recognizes excellence in teaching defined as the accurate and effective communication to undergraduates of important cultural, historical, and/or scientific subject matter as well as current scholarship and scholarly debate in the fields involved.
Nominations are solicited from undergraduate students late in the fall semester. Departments are then asked to compile nomination packets in support of qualifying (full-time, tenured) nominees. The selection committee meets in March to select the recipient, who is recognized at the Celebration of Teaching Excellence event in April.
