Visit the website at https://vpue.wsu.edu/LawAward-UndergraduateTeaching/ for detailed information and instructions.
This marks the third year the award will be presented to faculty who are outstanding teachers in WSU’s University Common Requirements (UCORE) program.
The award is named in honor of retired faculty member Dick Law, who served as WSU’s director of General Education from 1990 until his retirement in 2009. The Law Award values the important role played by general education faculty across the university in helping undergraduates attain WSU Learning Goals and Outcomes, especially outside their major area of study.
Award recipients are educators who inspire curiosity and understanding of an area of study and whose classes encourage development of the lifelong learning skills of integrating and synthesizing concepts to solve real problems. Past winners include inaugural recipient Theresa Jordan (History) in 2013, and Clif Stratton (History) and Richard Zack (Entomology) in 2014.
Questions? Please email Karen Weathermon, chair of the award review committee, at kweathermon@wsu.edu, or Jeannie Holt, in charge of Law Award materials, at jmholt@wsu.edu.
