Twenty-four faculty members and teaching assistants have been named winners of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\u2019s 2017 University Teaching Awards. The recipients will be recognized during halftime of the men\u2019s basketball game against Pittsburgh on Jan. 31. Chancellor Carol L. Folt also will host a spring banquet to honor the winners in April.<\/p>\n

The University Committee on Teaching Awards encouraged students to nominate deserving faculty and graduate teaching assistants for the awards and oversees the selection process. The committee chose recipients who promote the value of undergraduate teaching by example, demonstrate concern for students through interaction and approachability inside and outside the classroom, create meaningful learning experiences and maintain high expectations of their students.<\/p>\n

\u201cRewarding student-teacher relationships are the foundation for success at our University,\u201d said James W. Dean, Jr., executive vice chancellor and provost. \u201cCarolina is always proud of its talented faculty, and it is especially satisfying when students help the University recognize the meaningful impact our teachers make to their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year the committee recommended recipients for six types of awards, five for faculty and one for teaching assistants. The full list of winners follows:<\/p>\n
