Recipients of this award demonstrate educational innovations; impact on students' lives, both in and beyond the classroom; passion about teaching and learning; connections between research and teaching; educational outreach beyond the classroom; teaching excellence in core classes, required classes, and large classes; and overall Georgia Tech citizenship.
