The College of LAS has selected 19 professors, graduate students, lecturers, and advisors as the recipients of this year’s teaching and advising awards.
“It is a privilege to celebrate these remarkable educators and advisors who fulfill our educational mission within the College of LAS,” said Venetria K. Patton, the Harry E. Preble Dean of the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. “From newer members of our instructional community to those with years of experience, this year’s honorees—faculty, instructors, and advisors—share an exceptional commitment to teaching, mentoring, and supporting students throughout their academic journeys.”
Bryan Dunne, teaching assistant professor of astronomy, was recognized for his excellence in undergraduate advising. Dunne is regarded as an engaging, innovative, and proactive advisor whose mentorship sets students on the road to success. “Students consistently note that Bryan makes them feel valued, heard, and respected, regardless of background or goals, and that he creates a climate in which they can thrive,” wrote a colleague.
The awardees will be honored at a ceremony in April. Some recipients have also received campus teaching and advising awards.
