Nominations
Sought for Second Sherrerd Teaching Awards
Last April, four faculty members
were named the first winners of the Kathleen Compton Sherrerd
’54 and John J. F. Sherrerd Prizes for Distinguished
Teaching, an annual award given to faculty in recognition
of their distinguished teaching records and demonstrated enthusiasm
and excellence. The awards were made possible by a generous
contribution to Smith by Kathy and Jay Sherrerd.
The winners of the first Sherrerd Teaching Prizes were David
Cohen, professor of mathematics; Shizuka Hsieh, assistant
professor of chemistry; Mahnaz Mahdavi, associate professor
of economics; and Vittoria Poletto, senior lecturer in Italian
language and literature.
More than 100 candidates for the award were nominated last
year by students, fellow faculty members, administrators and
alumnae.
Now it’s time to nominate the second round of Sherrerd
Teaching Prize winners from among Smith’s faculty. Four
faculty members will again be chosen for this year’s
award, which will be presented during a public ceremony on
April 5, 2005, at 4:30 p.m. in Sweeney Concert Hall, Sage.
Nominations are sought from the entire Smith community for
faculty members deserving of this recognition. Nominations
should include a short statement explaining why the nominee
deserves a teaching award. Submit nominations no later than
Monday, November 22, either via email, to Sherrerd@email.smith.edu,
or campus mail to Sherrerd Committee, c/o Hayley Spizz, College
Hall 27.
