About
This award recognizes SHASS teachers—professors, lecturers, and graduate teaching assistants—who make a profound difference in the educational experience of MIT undergraduate and graduate students.
Nominations are made, by students themselves, through the course of the academic year and reflect the positive role that our educators play in the day-to-day, week-to-week efforts of MIT students as they engage with and excel in the humanities, arts, and social sciences.
The 2015 award recipients were chosen by the SHASS Education Advisory Committee, chaired by Associate Dean Kai von Fintel, which included Professor Martin Hackl (Linguistics), Professor Lily Tsai (Political Science), Professor Christopher Leighton (History), Professor Graham Jones (Anthropology) as well as Juana Becerra, ’15, Malika Flanagan, ’15, and Liz Friedman (staff).
