Teaching assistants are essential to the educational enterprise at Syracuse University. To recognize their critical role and their valuable contributions to undergraduate and graduate education, the Graduate School annually presents Outstanding Teaching Assistant awards. The honor cites demonstrated excellence in instructional capacities.
“We appreciate and understand the high value our teaching assistants bring to individual students, class sessions, teaching and learning outcomes and graduate scholarship and success across the University,” says Peter Vanable, dean of the Graduate School. “Our faculty and staff sincerely appreciate their contributions.”
Candidates for Outstanding Teaching Assistant Awards are nominated by their departments. To be considered for the award, they must present a comprehensive teaching portfolio describing their work.
This year, 39 graduate students were recognized with the honor. They are:
