Each year students elected to Phi Beta Kappa nominate their favorite professors for our annual Teaching Award. The recipient is selected by the Phi Beta Kappa officers.
Each year student nominations include a short statement and the names and email addresses of 6 other students who support the nomination are all that is required. The other students are not required to be in Phi Beta Kappa.
This is a heartfelt way to recognize a professor who has made an impact on you and influenced your intellectual and human development.
Congratulations to 2024 Excellence in Teaching awardee Allison Prasch (Communication Arts). Sarah Nehls (2024 PBK inductee) submitted the nomination.
“Dr. Prasch has demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to advancing the field of rhetorical scholarship, but what truly sets her apart is her unwavering dedication to student success. I can personally attest to her investment in the wellbeing and academic success of her students, and I know that my experience is not unique.” – Sarah Nehls
