EPS Graduate Student Teaching Award

The EPS Graduate Student Teaching Award is given annually to EPS TFs who exhibit excellence in teaching. Typically, there are two award recipients each academic year (usually one each for fall and spring terms). All EPS students who served as a TF for an FAS course, as well as other FAS students teaching an EPS course are eligible. Each recipient receives and "Outstanding EPS Teaching Fellow" certificate, an engraved Estwing rock hammer, and $500. Nominations, provided by course heads, are reviewed during the summer and fall of the following year and awardees are announced at the EPS holiday party.
