Faculty Members Honored with 2020-2021 Excellence in Teaching Awards

The Excellence in Teaching Committee at Curry recognizes faculty members at the College annually for their accomplishments in a variety of areas including research, community engagement, and partnerships and collaboration. This year, nine professors were honored with the Excellence in Research Award, the Ben Hidalgo Award for Community Engagement, and the Excellence in Partnerships & Collaboration Award. The Award for Accomplishments in the Arts and Humanities and the Excellence and Scholarship in the Field Award are not given annually, but this year four members of the faculty were chosen to receive these as well.
