Faculty Honored for Teaching with 2017 Emerson Award
The Emerson “Excellence in Teaching” Awards have recognized outstanding educators in the St. Louis metropolitan area for 28 years. The awards, sponsored by Emerson Electric Co., honor over 100 educators annually from all levels of teaching – kindergarten teachers to college professors. Honorees are selected for this award by chief administrators of their school districts or institutions. This year, six faculty members at Washington University were selected by their schools and The Teaching Center to receive the Emerson Award in recognition of their excellence in educational practices. “Excellence in Teaching” award recipients were honored at the Ritz Carlton in Clayton on November 12, 2017.
