“In addition to their profound impact on Yale’s research mission, graduate students make huge contributions to teaching. I am delighted to honor nine graduate students who are exemplary teachers,” said Lynn Cooley, dean of the Graduate School.
The Graduate School has awarded the teaching prizes annually since 2000. Recipients are nominated by their undergraduate students and the faculty members they assist while serving as Teaching Fellows.
