The winners were chosen by Jeffrey Runner, dean of theCollege; Wendi Heinzelman, dean of theHajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences; and Duje Tadin, chair of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences who served as interim dean of the School of Arts & Sciences.

Every year I am amazed at the creative ways our faculty engage our students inside and outside of the classroom, Runner says. This year is no exception with three outstanding examples of why the Goergen Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching was created: to acknowledge the creativity, skill, and care with which our faculty do their jobs.
