Bravo
Recipients of the James A. and Ruth Levitan Teaching Awards in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (MIT SHASS) are among the finest teachers at the Institute.
Announcing the 2018 award recipients, Dean Nobles remarked, “This prize honors those instructors in our School who have demonstrated outstanding success in teaching our undergraduate and graduate students. These great educators, who are nominated by students themselves, have made a difference in the lives of our remarkable students.”
Warmest congratulations!
2018 Recipients
Professor Eran Egozy
"Eran is an excellent teacher. The curriculum and frameworks he has created are incredible and make new technologies like VR so much more approachable. He makes the assignments both challenging and exciting — I’ve often wished that his class was the only one I was taking so I could keep spending time on it! Eran is extremely deserving of this award, and I deeply appreciate all that he has done for me as a teacher and advisor."
Lecturer, Olivia D’Ambrosio
"I cannot express strongly enough how much of a positive impact Olivia's class has had on me, and undoubtedly my classmates, this semester. Her work in Voice and Speech taught me how to be comfortable with my voice and body, but more than that she has influenced me to consider a lot of aspects of my life and academics more in relation to each other than I have before. She takes us out of our academic, engineering bubble, and reminds us that there are so many other modes of thinking than that of logical, straight-edged classwork."
