The Press Release

“With great pleasure, the Student Council of the Columbia School of General Studies announces the GS 2008 Award for Excellence in Teaching.  This annual award is designed to recognize teaching excellence — and in particular, to honor faculty who have had a truly lasting influence on the intellectual development of our non-traditional undergraduate students.

This year GS students nominated Professor Annette Insdorf, citing her “vibrant teaching, renowned scholarship, leadership on campus, and constant efforts on behalf of individual students” as some of the reasons she should receive the Excellence in Teaching Award.”
