Boy, are we proud around Baruch these days. The Bernard L. Schwartz Communication Institute has been awarded TIAA-CREF Institute’s prestigious Theodore M. Hesburgh Award which recognizes outstanding faculty development programs focussed on improving undergraduate teaching and learning. Here’s TIAA-CREF’s boilerplate on the award, which comes with $20,000 for Baruch College:
The annual TIAA-CREF Hesburgh Award recognizes exceptional faculty development programs designed to enhance undergraduate teaching and learning. Named in honor of Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president emeritus of the University of Notre Dame and former member of the TIAA and CREF Boards of Overseers, this award seeks to strengthen the teaching tradition at America’s undergraduate colleges and universities by acknowledging that an energized faculty is key to educational excellence.
What a great honor for all of us here at the Institute! Take a look at Baruch’s press release on the award. And here is a post by David on some of the supporting material we submitted as part of our application. Great work, Fellows. Next stop: the Nobel.
How wonderful! Congratulations from a former fellow!
Congratulations!!!
