This new award was created by the Teaching Academy and TLPDC to recognize faculty who used a variety of strategies and innovations to teach effectively online during the pandemic as they met and overcame numerous challenges. The 15 recipients were recognized publicly on May 3, 2021 at the spring business meeting of the Teaching Academy, and will receive a plaque for their innovative teaching providing a transformational learning experience for students during a pandemic. Their teaching eased the stress on students as shown by their attitude of “going the extra mile” as they helped students learn in new ways. They each made a huge difference by showing compassion and dedication to students while sharing their expertise and being a positive example.
