Nominations due April 1 for Baranger award
The deadline for nominations from faculty members and students for the 2011 Elizabeth Baranger Teaching Award is Feb. 11.
The annual award is sponsored by the Arts and Sciences Graduate Student Organization and recognizes outstanding teaching by graduate students in Arts and Sciences. It is named for Baranger, former vice provost for graduate studies, among other posts, who retired from Pitt in 2004 after 44 years.
The Baranger award is intended to make graduate student teaching more visible and valued on the campus, to raise the standards of teaching by graduate students and to help graduate students prepare professionally for teaching careers.
A&S graduate students who have taught or served as teaching assistants in 2010 are eligible for the award. Up to six awards of $250 each are given annually.
Nominations should be submitted at www.as.pitt.edu/gso/teachingAward.html.
Winners will be announced by April 1.
