Distinguished Teaching Award to Monica Sieh
From Lisa Selkirk:
Monica Sieh is the recipient of a Distinguished Teaching Award. This is truly an honor, a very tough award to get, and a reflection of extraordinary excellence in teaching. Only two or three TAs and two or three faculty members from all of UMass Amherst receive this in any one year. This is the first such award to someone in our department.
Congratulations, Monica! Wow!
