Prof. Megan Quigley Wins Tolle Lege Teaching Award

On May 9, the English department's Prof. Megan Quigley was named the winner of the Tolle Lege Award for Teaching Excellence in the Humanities from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.

The Tolle Lege Award acknowledges excellence in teaching of a faculty member in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Awards are presented annually for excellence in teaching in Science and Mathematics, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Nominations are solicited at the beginning of the Spring semester each year. Nominated faculty are reviewed by a College committee who evaluate course content, student and faculty teaching evaluations, and other evidence of teaching excellence in selecting award winners.
