These are the recollections of three students whose comments have helped the Committee on Teaching to identify this year's recipients of the campus' Distinguished Teaching Award: Professors Claire Kramsch of German, Nilabh Shastri of Molecular and Cell Biology, and Eleanor Swift of the School of Law (Boalt Hall).
The award, given annually by the Committee on Teaching of the Berkeley Division of the Academic Senate since 1959, recognizes excellence in teaching at the University of California, Berkeley. The recipients of the Distinguished Teaching Award will be honored at a ceremony on Tuesday, April 25, at 5 pm in Zellerbach Playhouse. Also honored will be the recipient of the Educational Initiatives Award. The ceremony features remarks by Berkeley Chancellor Robert Berdahl, Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Carol Christ, Academic Senate Vice-Chair Christina Maslach, and Alumni Association President Alfredo Terrazzas.
