Grants & Awards, Teaching 2021 Penn Prize for Excellence in Teaching by Graduate Students

Congratulations to this year's Penn Prize for Teaching Excellence by Graduate Students award winners! Graduate students are nominated by Penn undergraduate and graduate students for their profound impact on teaching at the University. This year, the Committee had the difficult task of choosing 10 winners from 204 nominations of 85 graduate student teachers. All of the finalists were deserving of this award according to the Committee. "This year more than ever, we saw how dedicated graduate student instructors were to the learning and well-being of their students," said Dr. Ian Petrie, Senior Associate Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning. 

The winners represent the Annenberg School for Communication, Graduate School of Education, School of Arts and Sciences, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Perelman School of Medicine.
