Teaching Assistant Awards
Each year, PLU recognizes excellence in student teaching through the presentation of six TA awards. These awards are distributed among graduate students teaching at all levels of the undergraduate and graduate chemistry curriculum.
The awards include the L. Carroll King Award for Excellence in 100-Level Teaching, the Allen S. Hussey Award for Excellence in 200-Level Teaching, and the Donald E. Smith Awards for Excellence in 300- and 400-Level Teaching.
