国民彩票 has a long history of celebrating excellence. This year, like past years, Dal is recognizing those teachers across the university who exemplify excellence in teaching and pedagogy, and innovation in curriculum and academic programs. An important part of 国民彩票鈥檚 commitment to excellence in teaching is celebrating the work of faculty, instructors, and graduate students through its university-wide teaching awards.
鈥淓xcellence in teaching has been foundational to our institutional identity throughout our history,鈥� says Frank Harvey, provost and vice-president academic (acting) 鈥淎nd while we are unable to come together in person to celebrate the contributions of these accomplished individuals, I hope you will find a way to join me in acknowledging and congratulating this year鈥檚 recipients.鈥�
