The Pohlhaus-Stracciolini Award for Teaching Excellence
The Pohlhaus-Stracciolini Award for Teaching Excellence is presented to an adjunct faculty member who demonstrates a commitment to the life of the mind and to the well-being of students through teaching that is intellectually stimulating, challenging, and accessible, with efforts extending beyond the classroom. The University President solicits nominations for this award annually. The Awards Committee of the Faculty Congress evaluates these nominations. This award is presented to the selected faculty member during commencement exercises in May.
