Dr. Cristina Bacuta has been given this year's College of Arts & Sciences Outstanding Teaching Award. Each year, the college chooses just one faculty member from its over 600 faculty to receive this honor. This award is based on student and peer evaluations, alumni testimonials, number and range of courses offered, involvement in individual instruction, quality of advisement and mentoring, demonstrated commitment to student welfare and development, and acknowledged reputation in teaching. All of these qualities are exemplified by Dr. Bacuta. The College will celebrate her achievement on May 16th at 4PM for the CAS Awards Ceremony in the Roselle Center.

Dr. Bacuta joins several other award winners in the Department of Mathematical Sciences in recent years. Dr. John Pelesko was the CAS Outstanding Teaching Award recipient in 2006; Dr Alfinio Flores won the CAS Oustanding Advising award in 2011; Dr. Robert Coulter won the University Teaching Award in 2011.

Congratulations Dr. Bacuta!
