Two CEHD faculty have won the highest honors that the University confers on faculty for teaching.  Rashné Jehangir, from the Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning, was selected for the Horace T. Morse Award for Outstanding Contributions to Undergraduate Education, and Diane Tedick, from the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, was honored with the Award for Outstanding Contributions to Postbaccalaureate, Graduate, and Professional Education. They will receive their awards at a ceremony on April 8.

Jehangir has dedicated her career to improving the academic programs and classroom experiences of undergraduates in the University and across the country through her educational leadership, exemplary teaching, and research. Her emphasis on first generation and bypassed student populations, the most difficult to retain, is exemplary work that has made a measurable difference in retention.

Tedick is the teacher, adviser, and mentor every student deserves. She is passionate about teaching and learning, and about providing students with many opportunities to learn and grow as scholars and professionals. She gives unselfishly and generously of her time and expertise to support and care for students throughout their careers. She has also been extraordinarily innovative in designing courses and programs that foster collaborative relationships and learning communities nationally and internationally.
