Sherrerd Prize for Distinguished Teaching

ABOUT THE SHERRERD PRIZE

The Kathleen Compton Sherrerd '54 and John J. F. Sherrerd Prize for Distinguished Teaching was made possible by a grant to the college by Smith alumna Kathleen Compton Sherrerd, a 1954 graduate, and her husband, John J. F. Sherrerd.

Smith has long placed a high value on teaching and welcomes the establishment of the Sherrerd Prize as a visible symbol of its commitment and dedication to superior pedagogy. "Smith College has traditionally emphasized the importance of dynamic, diverse and interactive teaching in imparting the principles of the sciences and liberal arts to its high-achieving students," said President Carol T. Christ. "The college considers the teaching of its students to be among its most essential objectives as a leading institution of women's education."
