President Dave Frohnmayer presented the 2003 Crystal Apple awards to four exceptional teachers at the University of Oregon last spring, all of them in the College of Arts and Sciences. The professors, also honored at the June 2003 commencement ceremony, will receive a $2,000 annual salary increase this year.
The Thomas F. Herman Faculty Achievement Award for Distinguished Teaching honors UO faculty who have demonstrated long-standing excellence in teaching. The Ersted Awards for Distinguished Teaching reward teaching excellence by faculty early in their careers. Award selections are based upon the recommendations of UO faculty and students, who praise their colleagues and mentors for inspiring by example.
