Celebrate Teaching

GW Honors This Year’s Oscar and Shoshana Trachtenberg Teaching Award Winner, Arun S. Malik

A Tribute to Excellence in Teaching, the 2002 Oscar and Shoshana Trachtenberg Teaching Award, will be presented Friday, April 26, at 2 pm in the MPA Building, room B07. All members of the University community are invited to attend.

This year’s recipient is Arun S. Malik of the Department of Economics. This year’s Trachtenberg prize winners for research and service are Cornelius Bennhold, associate professor of physics, and William Parke, professor of physics, respectively.

The prize for outstanding undergraduate teaching was established in 1990 by President Trachtenberg in memory of his parents. A tenured faculty member from the Columbian College, the Elliott School, or the schools of business, engineering, or public health and health services, who regularly teaches undergraduate students, receives the annual award. The prize recognizes excellence in teaching defined as the accurate and effective communication to undergraduates of important cultural, historical and/or scientific subject matter, as well as current scholarship and scholarly debate in the fields involved.
