Presidential Awards for Outstanding Teaching

 

Eight faculty and graduate student instructors from across Columbia have received the honor of a

 Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching this year as part of the university's Commencement

 festivities. We asked the recipients to share their thoughts on great teaching and what they have found

 resonates most strongly with students.
