CASE Names Four U.S. Professors of the Year
WASHINGTON
Four professors were honored last month for their dedication to teaching, commitment to students and creative approach to education. The four, named U.S. Professors of the Year, were selected from more than 400 nominations. The awards, sponsored by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, are the only honors for excellent teaching in higher education.
Philosophy professor Dr. Alicia Juarrero of Prince George’s Community College in Maryland was named the Outstanding Community College Professor. Art professor Dr. James Adams of Manchester College in Indiana received the award in the baccalaureate category. Dr. Dennis Jacobs, a chemistry professor at the University of Notre Dame, also in Indiana, was honored in the master’s category; and Dr. Francisco Jiménez, a modern languages and literature professor at Santa Clara University in California, was honored in the doctoral research university category.
