Calling on Trinity alumni to honor the professors who made an impact on their lives
Did you have a teacher who changed the way you think? Influenced your career choices? Helped you to wake up intellectually? If so, you have a wonderful chance to pay tribute to that teacher. The Thomas Church Brownell Prize for Teaching Excellence, which recognizes consistently outstanding teaching by a senior faculty member, is awarded annually at Honors Day. All alumni are invited to submit nominations explaining in 200 to 300 words why they believe a favorite professor deserves this prestigious award. Nominations should be sent to Sylvia DeMore via email (sylvia.demore@trincoll.edu) or postal mail (Office of the Dean of the Faculty, Williams Memorial 118, Trinity College, 300 Summit Street, Hartford, CT 06106). The nomination deadline is Friday, March 6, 2020.
Associate professors, full professors, senior lecturers, and principal lecturers who have been at the college for at least three years, will not retire prior to June 30, 2020, and have not previously received the Brownell Prize are eligible. A complete list of eligible faculty, as well as a roster of previous winners, appears below.
The Brownell Prize was made possible by a gift from the late Paul H. Briger ’61, P’87. Robert Stewart (mathematics) was the first recipient, and Adrienne Fulco (legal and policy studies) was the 2019 honoree.
If you have questions about the Brownell Prize, please direct them to Sylvia DeMore, special assistant to the dean of the faculty, at sylvia.demore@trincoll.edu.
