Nominations are now open! Please visit the 2024 Elizabeth Baranger Teaching Awards page to learn more about this year’s process.
The A&S GSO Elizabeth Baranger Teaching Award acknowledges excellence in graduate student teaching across the Arts & Sciences. Awardees are nominated by undergraduates, and awards are presented to one graduate student from each school division (i.e., humanities, natural sciences, social sciences). The award, which will be given in the fall of 2024, is named after Elizabeth Baranger, former Dean and, later, Vice-Provost of the Dietrich School of Arts & Sciences.
The purpose of the teaching award is to:
- Recognize and reward outstanding teaching by graduate students at Pitt.
- Make teaching by graduate students more visible and valued on campus.
- Raise the standards of the teaching by graduate students.
- Contribute to and/or spark discussions about what constitutes good teaching by graduate students on campus.
- Help graduate students prepare professionally for teaching careers.
