ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½

Each year, the Dean of the Faculty’s office asks current students and recent alumni to help recognize excellent teachers among us. Teaching fabulous ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ students is, of course, its own reward — but public recognition for one’s efforts and an award of $5,000 is also pretty great. 

Established by the late Robert H. Kroepsch, ’33, LL.D. ’71, the Ruth M. and Robert H. Kroepsch Endowed Fund honors a member of the ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ faculty for outstanding performance as a teacher including a $5,000 award.

We need your nominations! Did a professor you remember fondly:

• ignite your interest in the coursework and make you want to learn more?
• make you think about the world – and yourself – in new ways?
• hold you to a high standard?
• make going to class or doing your thesis a pleasure?

Thank you— balloting closes on February 13, 2026. We are no longer accepting nominations.
